Passing Waters

14/7/2010

0 Comments

 
When the flood waters pass
   And the streams all run clear
Use a compass
   To redirect fear

Washed away so much
   Doubts only remain
Open God's touch
   To all of your pain

It can sooth and revive
   Refresh and renew
To those who survive
   It comes right on cue

Let not the waters
   Sweep all hope downstream
Let not the plotters
   Do acts unseen

Clear as the stream
   Just after a storm
Justice is given
   By no humans born

The flood has now come
   To cleanse until pure
No place to run
   Can't hide behind doors

Out in the open
   Our true selves are swept
Some show a grin
   Others have wept

Wept for the truth
   For innocence lost
Tears for gone youth
   To Hard reality tossed

Oh woe are the waters
   Overflowing with shit
Truth is a starter
   To try and clean it

We all play a part
   A duty, a ROLE
Trust in your heart
   Not public poles

The pollution has risen
   Toxic and green
This world we were given
   The earth, skies and seas

A flood of emotion
   Frustration overflow
No cure-all potion
   For the problems we sow

A wake up call
   To the masses asleep
We're all so powerfull
   With the knowledge we keep

The flood will reside
   The waters run clean
Remain pure inside
   And the music you'll hear

    I love poetry.

    It can be whimsical or epic, unbearably long or just two memorable lines, mature and dark or light and childish.
