Dirty Waters


 

The clamour for rain

Is one that comes

From a needing heart

One that has been pierced

By the scourging heat of the sun

But when the rain comes

They stir up mud

Turning our bright waters

Into things unpleasant to the eye

Giving that which is colourless, colour

A brownish flowing thing

Possibly unusable to a sane mind

But when things settle

Under the beaming light of the sun

They sparkle like crystals

And once again become a source of life

As it was predestined to be

So, let not your heart be troubled

Even if your waters are dirty

Or stirred up and unstable

I know, with time comes restoration

So you must be patient in your wait

For I'm confident that

Life will once again swim

In your water!
