I can see the waters in your eyes,
The ocean of sadness that keeps you afloat.

I can hear the air in your voice,
The winds of weakness stretching til it snaps.

I can taste the fire on your lips,
The flames of desire quickly fading overnight.

I can feel the earth in your heart,
The soil of life turning to stone under the weight.

And I can smell the salt in your tears,
That fall from the ocean within you+

My senses notice the elements that cause this sedimentary heart to feel hope++
Sacrifice to stay alive- don’t let your waters run dry.

+Passing through the broken wind, putting out your fire; only to water the soil before it’s gone.
++Hope that your ending will be better.
