Carve Out a River

Carve out a river in me
That the dry canyons of my soul might drink.
The cracked ground and crumbling rocks
Are crying out for a water that lives on and on forever.
Let the dips of my soul become brooks that flow.
Let the ditches be canals aplenty to make a garden grow.
Carve out a river in me,
Etched in the barrenness of my heartland.
Let the quiet, dead valleys of dirt and sand
Become an Eden again.
Come rushing in.
