Ode to Water


Pristine lucidity.
Complexity but yet great simplicity

No wonder the ancients worshiped you, daughter of Agwe, brother of Neptune
We are nourished with you in our mother's womb
We can't help but bleed you on a hot humid day

You give life but yet you take it away
But there is always hope on your horizon
You are constant friend

Chaotic yet calming
Swallow but deep

You are metaphor for life
Looking at you on the beach one can never predict your next move

Surfers always have something to prove
They try to ride your rugged and wild waves
But you don't surrender, well that a lie
You render power to the Moon in the night sky

Aphrodite emerged from you seas in shell
Saved from paganism by Jesus's brief submersion

Water

Refreshing life giving nectar, so sweet it cannot be detected
