Your wet words of life
in thousands of thin sentences
saturate my meditation
as I lift up my heart to you,
O God of rain-gifts.
The earth, like an ear,
soaks up your words.
Oh, that my heart
would do the same.
Soften my heart,
O God of living waters,
that the shower of Scripture
I am about to read
may enrich the soil of my soul.
Rain down your wisdom
in sacred streams
to carry me like an upturned leaf
through the currents of this gray day. Amen
Edward M. Hays, Prayers for a Planetary Pilgrim, pg. 98
