Water

Water I

Born from a river of love:

The lake of impurity,

The brook of mistrust,

The creek of cruelty,

The stream of unjust,

And the sea of jealousy,

Of these, I can’t swim one.



Water II


The water, clear and pure,

Raging—so powerful.

It’s consumingly healing.

It magically cleanses

All the weak and weary.

Almost musical,

As it so surely courses

Through the forest.

It mystically nurtures

All those in need.

It calms and soothes

The sores rubbed raw.

Consealing the hurt

That comes from within—

The water,

That comes from without.
