Water's Edge

you came
to water's edge
just to get
a drink
but when you found
the liquid touching
you finally
found your link
the sand
didn’t know
it too
was quite dry
the waves
carried echoes
of your needs
in reply
at first
quite timid
about the fear
of getting wet
then let it
wash you over
a quenching
with no regret
baptism in
this water
now begins
life anew
thirsty for more
than land
gives an ocean
a different view

I like this baptism of water.
Keth

Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind.  Unknown
