Sojourn

the Spirit led Yeshua into the wilderness

now you too must go

I stand on the rim of the desert
praying rain for your thirst
shade for your head

I have walked my desert road
but I cannot travel with you

though I would set aside my work
my craft
to be helpmate

that is not what you need

at the oasis' shore
I look for you in the distance
a wavering form against the tawny harshness

but it is not you
not yet
