Take me to the place my body seeks,
In a swirl of water: torrents, rains and streams,
Place me among the wet sands absorbing my tears,
And once again I shall be allowed to breathe.
Place me back into my ocean,
Let me reach my mind’s eye stream, as,
These beads of sweat are running,
As my thirst begins to peak.
Take me back to the place, its calling,
To feel the water escaping from my palms,
And cleanse and moisten my free spirit,
From the drying world I’m among.
