Like a hind crying for water
. . . my soul cries for You, O God (Ps. 42:2)
yearning
for streams of water
in the desert
of the Word
I stalk
the voice
where once
all was
but the Word
till it became flesh
and nary a Name
to be found
Since 1900, the Christian Century has published reporting, commentary, poetry, and essays on the role of faith in a pluralistic society.
