We Are The Waters

Written in

We are the waters that lap at coves.
We are the waters that hold the blue heavens.
We are the waters that roar earth to life.
We are the waters that bring relief.
We are the waters that filter the dreams.
We are the waters where it begins.

We are the waters.

We are the waters where the drum beats deep.
We are the waters that hum you to sleep.
We are the waters that lick salty defeat.
We are the waters that stroke your cheek.
We are the waters that eat all the lies.
We are the waters that spit at enemies.
We are the waters of infinite touch.
We are the waters that know too much.

We are the waters.

We are the waters that take up excess space.
We are the waters they want to replace.
We are the waters that hold every word.
We are the waters that weigh on the world.
We are the waters that call themselves “mother”.
We are the waters that call themselves “anger”.

We are the waters.
