to the Water

I come to the water because it’s close to you In your vicinity is peace Within your reach is solace At the edge of your boundary is comfort I come to the water because the wind on its surface reminds me of your voice On its pitch is an unchained melody Within its whisper I hear freedom Inside it’s roar there is triumph I come to the water because it reflects you and in return, you reflect me Your eyes speak accountability Your lips teach tenderness Your cheeks bear laughter I come to the water to drink in you.
