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
