God, hold us to that which drew us first,
when the cross was the attraction, and we wanted nothing else. ~ Amy Carmichael

Standing Water

The rock plummets to the sandy bottom,
Like the life of an unloved, forgotten child
At first it stirs up the waters of the deep
But as it sinks further and further
All that's left
Is standing water.
No one remembers the rock
Aside from a vague, far-off recollection
For all they see
Is standing water.
