I am a dry riverbed

In a barren land

I need rain

But my lips stay silent

A deep rumble beckons rain clouds closer

But they hang back

Waiting

I look around

And see that the barren land isn’t barren at all

Like a mirage evaporating

I now see that I am a dry riverbed in a lush oasis

A drop of water falls from the sky

I see vibrant flowers

And flowing waterfalls

The rain intensifies

All that I need, God has given me

I am blessed in breathtaking abundance

A sweet downpour pours out from the heavens

Flooding my parched life

The dirt of my riverbed is dry

Soften it with your rainstorm of gratitude

And make my soil fertile for Your kingdom.
