I go where mountain streams converge
And stand with pitcher on the verge
Of a transparent tranquil pool
Where waters merge lucent and cool
There is the grass sparkling with dew
I dip the jar in aqua blue
It overflows its precious gift
As with both hands I gently lift
To raise the contents to my lips
So that I take the first few sips
And then I drink the rest in haste
There is ambrosia in the taste
That brings to mind my faithful muse
The sky is filled with scarlet hues
I am entranced and stay until
The sun goes up; once more I fill
The jar with water to the brim
On wings of time I fly and skim
Till I arrive at heaven’s gates
Then walk to where my master waits
The zodiac path is where he lives
He lays the rules and ever gives
To freedom lovers ample space 
To go about at their own pace
And cure the fragile human race
To make the world a better place.
A water bearer I shall be
With care to serve eternally.

Hi Thvia! Thank you for stopping by with your lovely comments. I wonder how Scorpio and Aquarius relate to each other; I have a feeling they can both be stubborn! // paul

Donnez-moi une vere de votre l'eau, mon ami. A remarkable poem about the water bearer. You and my late husband share the same astrological sign. Your poem has brilliant imagery. Aquarians are also know for their intelligence and leadership qualities. These are yours as well. Wishing you success in the contest, dear friend. Love and blessings, carolyn

Water explains this sign's nature of nourishing the earth with its life giving energies. Like its solid state, ice; and gaseous state, steam (water vapor) Aquarius has many admirable qualities it is able to morph into when needed. Your poem expresses this in the most lovely poetic manner. A most beautiful expression any Aquarius would want to keep. I have my rising in Aq. as does my husband and it helps us relate to each other. Bravo Paul! I loved this!

Many many thanks dear Upma! These are not just comments, but compliments! You are too kind, but I still love it:) I don't get pampered like this everyday! I do appreciate it. // paul

wowowow, this is probably the best zodiac poem I've read yet because it really captures the essence of your sign. It IS your sign, isn't it? I am earth girl (my poem was an oldie that I entered in this contest, a sonnet called Earth's Daughter) Anyway, I noticed in my life that I never really had a real friendship with an Aquarius. the men of that sign never gravitated toward me either. They are quite different from Virgos, but they ARE the sign of the age of love and peace!
