water

water! oh water!
giver of life
engulf me in your spite
end all strife
as i yearn to see
the magic
of your purity

strike at fear, the way
you strike this land
wash away guilt, remorse , as you
take back the sand

ingest the failures , of my setting sun
enthrall me with your music,
the unending rhythm ,as you,
let forth cool breeze.

oh water! oh water!
can't you speak to me?
of unseen lands and
equally enchanting seas!
and strangest of creatures
dwelling in your belly!
as you take turns
on the earth you run
caressing, every seed you meet
dissolve our sorrows, and our dead ones
your arrival , with happiness we greet
with chirping birds and joyous beast
as on our happy faces you pour
dousing the embers
of my parched soul!
