JUST ONE DROP
Just one drop
that falls not
That never fails
in erasing all fault
A death
that brings life
One for all
with the serenity
of a friendly voice
I hear the call
Always a choice
to steer your vessel
on a heavenly course
Words of wisdom
the truth to tell
One drop of love
that doesn’t fall
and never fails
Just one drop
of grace divine
suspended . . .
in the fullness of time
No silent witness
to a world of crime
A door is wide open
as the Word
has been spoken
throughout the expanse
of infinite space
One drop of hope
for this human race
Just one drop …
more than enough

That painting is sublime… and I love these words: “In the serenity / of a friendly voice / I hear the call / Always a choice / to steer your vessel / on a heavenly course” – so true, David.
By the way, it’s the strangest thing… wordpress reader has not been and still is not showing me your two latest posts in the feed, even though I am following your blog… it’s only via clicking your username in my notifications that I come to check on your blog and see them. Same with a few of my other most favourite blogs. Odd. Anyway, shine on, you crazy diamond 🌈☀️💛✨
