River of life,
Streams that gleam;
In your crystalline purity
Cleansing me whole,
When we meet
Peace prevails.
Torrents of joy
Coursing through veins,
Refreshing
Cold to taste
On the tip of my tongue,
Drinking in lungfuls.
Flushing the body
Of impurities,
Unfreezing the mind;
Beneath the falls,
Knotted shoulders
Unloosed.
From the mountaintop,
Ribbon of silver glinting
Like an invitation,
Rich with promise;
Water you flow
A potent undertow.
Calling,
An echo of rest;
Desire springs in the crash,
Lust in the ocean
Glory in the song
You sing.
Water, I offer
Words that burble,
You give me this:
Limpid currents
Pulsing
Fresh dreams.
