Encouragement

We all need water.

I am
a parched earth
in an
arid desert.

And she
is the cloud -
generous
with her
presence,
and her
rain
I had thirsted
for so long.

As suddenly as
she appeared -


She passes by.


And I
remain dry -
though I
do not long
as much as
before.

Quite good, subtle, thought provoking piece. I like how the stanzas look and feel. Would be good read a loud. I was not sure of where to pause on the last stanza but still all around solid piece of art
