My Name is Water

Linking with earthweal for the weekly challenge ~ water

The sea hath no king but God alone. ~Dante Gabriel Rossetti

My father is a sky full of clouds and he weeps
For season that shall never be
My mother holds to her bosom
All that is left of me
I flow to the farthest oceans
Through rivers tattered with waste
Hurting those I lean close to
By the ones that have chosen to take.

Ripple In The Water




One rock leads to another hard knock
as she flows her haphazard descent
a journey full of lessons
that do not know relent
one measured stroke
affects the next
just like the constant molding of the potter
so she flows with
each ripple in the water
she is reaching for a destination
broader than her nomad home
moving closer and closer
to the greater unknown
the everchanging tide
pulls and tugs until he's got her
and so she goes
just another ripple
in the water.
