see the water glisten
like jelly, it quivers
in custody of foreign lands.
see the water swallow,
restraining my body.
all my life,
i’ve floated in uncertainty;
but now i’m held,
in complacent inevitability.
see the water mirror –
the deserted moon,
shining brighter, mightier,
than earth’s –
immortal, god sent
glorious diamonds.
see the water baptize
like alcohol, it cleanses
the past, the mistakes, and the regrets.

see the water glisten
like jelly, it quivers
in custody of foreign lands.
see the water swallow,
restraining my body.
all my life,
i’ve floated in uncertainty;
but now i’m held,
in complacent inevitability.
see the water mirror –
the deserted moon,
shining brighter, mightier,
than earth’s –
immortal, god sent
glorious diamonds.
see the water baptize
like alcohol, it cleanses
the past, the mistakes, and the regrets.
take me to the water
