Prayer-Prayer In A Dry Time Poem by Mary Mc Creath

Prayer-Prayer In A Dry Time

Rating: 5.0


My God I need you.
My heart reaches out to the
tips of my fingers,
Longing wells from a depth
that is unfathomable.

I long to be reached by you..
I long for you like a lost child it's mother.
Like a desert traveler for water,
Like a rocket searching the universe,
For a place to land.


I look for you like a poor man,
Looking for work to feed his family.
Like a young man searching for pleasure.
Like an old man seeking rest.
Oh! Where are You?

Wonderful poem. For me, exactly how it feels when it's hard to connect. There are days like that. And they are OK. But I wish that gender did not rear its head. Perhaps it could be a poor person looking to feed a her family. That is the way I think of it. Thank you.

Mary, i relate to this poem and was drawn in by my heart reaches out to you to the tips of my fingers. I have thought of myself many times with arms and hands extended like tree branches. I have something similar in my poem Refresh, O God. - glen kappy
