Healing Waters

i will fall like seeds

between the leaves

i will go under like these

between the trees and into the sod

and i will rise again

and shake my leaves

like these hands and feet

and breach the sky to the lap of the Almighty

God

i want to see you

i need to feel you close to me

i want to see you

Jesus, you’re the only thing to me

you are everything

and you’re all

i need

you are all

to me

this tepid pool lames

it sickens the maimed

death lingers its frame

surrounds the deaf, the dumb and the other odds

i will stir like the waters

where angels and otters

heal the blinded daughters

and the lame shall walk and praise my God
