Water Maid
Rated: E | Poetry | Environment | #1876763
dream line spurred the poem, which also contains bits of a break-up
                                    Water Maid

         An ocean of tears
               flood her face
         Ravaged and scarred
               By Man's un-grace.

                                       Old ranges brought down
                                             new slopes born
                                       Old feelings unleashed
                                             new hopes torn.

         Throughout the forest
               comes the rain
         To wash her body,
               its new terrain.

                                       I wander her contours
                                             caress each new crease
                                       And know why I've come here:
                                             to love her in peace.

         We have trashed our world
               and will pay the cost
         For in the scramble
               our souls have been lost.

                                       And I love her enough
                                             to let her go
                                       (It's an old cliche'
                                             O! Yes! IKnow.)

         Heaven sends tears
               the law by God laid
         No healing until
               water on Water's made.
