She filled your air pretending to be life-giving water
Yet now you know that she is fire
As she clouded your vision of the world around you
You quickly traded your dreams for her desires

She watched with great pleasure as you pushed away all
To give her your undivided attention
Finding fault in every single move you made
While you stood alone with no honorable mention

Her warmth and beauty has held you under her spell
Stubbornly calling your thirst benign
For what now seems like forever a day and a year
Still, of her life giving water there is no sign

Now you find yourself longingly staring into the air
Seeking a tall cool glass of respite
To quench your thirst and refresh your dry spirit
Restoring your dreams to your sight

Continue seeking life-giving water with great patience
With the most vigilant care
In the vessel of a warrior fearless and wise
There is respite for your thirst in the essence of air
