Healing Waters
/The world had gotten too big
Too loud
Too angry
Too demanding
Too much
My soul, shrouded in darkness
So dark
So empty
So alone
So dead
In despair, I wander
No direction
No plan
No emotion
No hope
Rushing water, calling me
Hear me
See me
Taste me
Feel me
Approaching cautiously
The power
The beauty
The roar
The life
Drawn, no hope for return
To feel the tremble of its power
To gaze upon the heavenly glint of its beauty
To fill my ears with the rushing of its roar
To submerge myself in all of its liveliness
I dip a bare toe in and feel the coolness of the pure waters
One step, and another, as I watch the current split, diverted by my legs
I wade further, surrounded by beauty, wanting more
I want to feel it’s life, it’s power, it’s freedom; to be baptized in such clean, pure energy
I let go
And let my legs fall
To entwine with the current and drift in the glinting sun
And let it renew me
