The sun is hot, the heat boiling,

The desert air so stifling.

Weary from the arid heat,

This thirsty soul, empty, deplete.

Scorching, Suffocating,

Smothering, Sweltering,

Weary, Worn,

Wobbling, Woozy.

Fatigued, Forlorn,

Frazzled,

(But not finished!)

He who dwells in His shelter

Will find rest from the smelter.

Finding peace in Him nightly,

Under the shadow of the Almighty.

Quelled! Quieted!

Quickened! Quenched!

(Psalm 91:1)
