Rivers

Haiku of the Spirit

Thirsty, dry and parched,

worn out and desiccated,

eager for a drink

At the festival,

interrupting proceedings,

he stood: Come to me!”

If you are thirsty,

come! Life renewing water

will flow deep within!

From the seeker’s heart

shall flow rivers of water,

living, Spirit-filled.

Rivers of water,

gushing strong, splashing with life

and with the Spirit.

The Spirit will come;

open your eyes, you will see

what God is doing.

Can’t be a prophet,

they say he’s from Galilee.

Not prophet country!
