Prayer In The Wilderness

It starts as a cry, a cry in the wilderness when the water jug is emptied, a cry to hallucinate images of water in mind to feed the murdering thirst. It starts as a scream, a scream of horror and despair, like coming to the end of time. It is a scream in the dark when the last ray of light is almost out of sight. It comes like dance in the morning when hope shivers and lingers Upon the sight of Someone whom one can trust- Of Someone bigger and higher, stronger and mightier- of one Who is the Source of Life. ____________________
