In a parched world that needs healing
You are the shade of clouds that cool the relentless heat
You are the expectation of showers that quench the fields’ thirst
You are the cedar tree that’s a refuge in the storm
and You are its branches of wisdom asking a broken world
if it’s willing
to transform
