Water
Mighty ocean, stream and river
you carved the rocks and did deliver
Mighty caves with chambers hidden
The ocean firmanent forbidden
The lightest drizzle a soundless prelude
Upon us soon a thunderous deluge
Your ebb and flow a constant movement
From surges vast to raindrops prudent
Your knowledge and your mystery proud
We cannot silence your shouts aloud
Your move us upstream and push perception
I could not live without your correction
We dont deserve your candid notions
That life is flexed with contorted motions
Our bitter end that we wont save
Is answered in the smallest wave
So look towards the ocean west
Listen to its scorn and jest
For water holds all hope unknown
Words speak imbued with liquid tone
