JUST ONE DROP
A drop
that doesn’t fall
That arises
One for all
A death
that brings life
Just one drop
more than enough
In the silence
a friendly voice
I hear the call
Always a choice
Words of truth
that never fail
A drop of love
that doesn’t fall
Just one drop
of grace divine
suspended . . .
in the fullness of time
A door open
the word spoken
No witness silent
to a world of crime
Throughout the expanse
of infinite space
one drop of hope
for this human race

Thanking you,
House of the Holly.
I can take little credit.
This poem woke
me from a dream.
A vision left
for me to interpret.

It’s great when that happens. Even greater when you can remember what you dreamed about and are able to write it down.
You did a great job with this.

Beautifully written.
Reminds me of the hymn,
“Amazing love, how can it be?
That thou, my God, shouldst die for me.”

Not a bit of it.

after being fed
a mountain of it.
