More Water

Steve Skiver   -  

I need water to survive.

I want to trust the promises to live.

Drink the promises, to be filled.

To live as you have willed.

 

The need is stronger than the want.

In my need I grumble and I taunt.

The trust seems so far away,

Why have I survived another day?

 

I have heard it said:

This is the day, rejoice and be glad.

Death or life, is this the choice?

I hid at the sound of your voice.

 

I thirst
