The rhabdomancer's art

The rhabdomancer’s art                                                                          

O seeker, you want the living water
but long crusted over is that fount. 

Your tears speckle the nondescript dust
while a stone’s drop beneath you,

silent to your ears,
the living water roils

in the thirst-no-more fountain of Jesus.
It requires the rhabdomancer’s art –

a true divination where and how
to unearth this treasure.   

You’ll never find it on your own –
you’re not sharp enough,

your dual, disparate ends
not coming together

into that magically effective,
one-pointed rod of divining and divinity.

O child of God, silently Meher points the way
to the most rewarding place to delve.
