Parched Ground

I wrote this based on my community group's discussion of Psalm 143 yesterday. I had ChatGPT help me with the image again.

Cracked

Widening ever still

Cratered

What could possibly fill?

Fissured

Weakness easily seen

Fractured

No strength left to glean.

Lost and lonely

No rest to be found

Broken here

Like parched ground.

Crushed

Distorted in dismay

Pitted

Hallowed out and flayed.

Shocked and smashed

No rest to be found

Don’t leave me here

As parched ground.

Hear

Reject not my plea

Answer

I’m fading quickly.

Loving and leading

Pour Your presence round

Refreshing reserves of mercy

Reviving my parched ground.
