A Prayer Nudged Finally you’ve come, to ease my parched, dry throat As beautiful words I was whispering, inchoate As dancing ever before my mind, like a panacea, Desert Sonora for one, then found dreaming of Sahara… For it has been so dry, where there should be luscious green And even tho the wind would blow, the skies remained serene; “beautiful days” bespoken, ‘tho silent prayers high flew to see some heavy graying skies amidst the lovely blue. But no, dust remained and hung heavy in the valleys Where lush wheat fields should be taking tally Silently and from deep within my heart then there rendered A soulful cry to a loving God “help, I now surrender…” “We fear of fire, we fear of thirst, we pray to see some rain…” daily, daily, daily I would beseech this sad refrain… “Oh Lord give us ease, but nay no dust storm days Let it rain from great Topeka, all the way to Hays.” The weathercaster came on screen just this very morning And said, “we may get lucky here, have some storms a’warning…” So just to make the game even, bring it up to par… I gave my prayer a little nudge, and went and washed my car. 22 November, 1999 ©KRJ ------------------ Sunshine Look, then, into thine heart, and write ~~~ Henry Wadsworth Longfellow |

LOL Sunshine this was just so you! hehe... If washing your car won't make it rain I don't know what will. That's Murphy's law isn't it? When you wash it...it just has to rain! Enjoyed this nudged prayer! |
