After John 4:5-15
We come for water,
a drink, a sip
to sustain, needed
for life, but then
we’re offered water
of a different kind,
not the kind which
must be refreshed
to slake physical
thirst, but the water
of life, eternal life,
water that sustains
our souls, our hearts,
our minds, water
that, once accepted,
never has to be
drunk again, water
of eternity poured
into us, drawing
us into the flow,
drawing us into
life eternal. Drink,
and drink deeply.
