Song of Yearning
I thirst for you, God,
As the dry land craves the rain;
I long to see you.
I will seek you all my days
Because you are life to me.
As the dry land craves the rain;
I long to see you.
I will seek you all my days
Because you are life to me.
Based on Psalm 63, The Holy Bible, New International Version

Psalm 63:1-5 is one of my very favorite passages!
Amen! Beautiful. Tweeting.

Yearning. It's a good thing sometimes.
Thanks for sharing that beautiful poem. I look forward to reading more.
This is excellent, a psalm for today. I'm gathering that a tanka is 5-7-5-7-7 syllables per line. Never heard of it before, but I love it.
