I love that picture. It's a beautiful thought to think of something growing where nothing has grown before. It's interesting to think how grains of desert sand can flow from streams. This will be a wonderful addition to the Renga book. There must be quite a collection by now. judi

A very well-written couplet about the stream washing the desert sand and will be left where nothing will grow or had grew.

Great use of alliteration of "s" and "g" words in your couplet! I'm wondering which poem preceded yours.
Your poem echoes Scripture to me that "streams flow washing desert sands" just like the Lord will restore and refresh and cause to grow even where nothing grew before!

Love the flow of the storms of water from the previous chapter to yours that nourish the desert sands -- wonderful continuity yet each so original!! ;) Thanx for sharing your contribution, Roy! ;) Yvette

This is really deep, Roy. And ever so beautiful in every way. "Grains will grow" is a very interesting concept. Never even heard of it, let alone thought of it. Will chew on it for awhile! What can grow out of a grain of sand? Hum ........
Just lovely addition to renga book.
Lucy

Lovely! I see you took on the added challenge of an internal rhyme of flow and grow--alliteration in GR as well as S and W--wonder what strain of grain (see, I can rhyme too!) can grow in a well-watered desert.

Even when you're not writing a poem of hope, you're writing a poem of hope! I love that the rain turns a barren place into a place of harvest! (God's blessings in our lives, perhaps? â?¤)
Well done! my friend. this is a perfect addition to the book.
Blessings,
Deb
