Ablution

With my hands I shape a bowl And pick up the water to cleanse my soul It is oh so pure, oh so clear And as I wash my face I embrace a refreshment as if you were right here In my living space This water is the source of all things living As I envision you beside me, giving My dosage of happiness, sadness, and beauty As if giving me that extra hand up is your duty The water splashes into my eye The eye that has seen the smile I can't deny The water drips from my beard As I remember your face, so revered The water slips into the sink As I sink and see you when I blink With my eyes closed and my heart open, you are there A most lovely affair You are my ultimate friend In a world where they are so few One who can bend and transcend any lost happiness I have Send my anger elsewhere and mend my heart aright You are the water in my life A water that extinguishes my flames and keep me tame The liquid in which I came We are the ones we can mutually look out for And mutually adore
