Cascading Water

Cascading water 
crystalline blue;
Rid me of stains 
the days produce.

Make haste to quench 
my torrid throat.
Seal, cavernous wounds,
this body totes.

Disguise these tears
that drench my face.
Soothe aging muscles,
my strength replace.

Defuse the doubt
that clouds my mind.
Spiritual spray 
refreshes soul, divine.

Reviving energy 
pours from the spout.
Welcoming, comforting
its warmth, its sound.

Once you're well done
with all my requests,
cleanse dreadful dreams
so I may rest.

Lissette, congratulations on earning an Honorable Mention in the 2025 Poetry Marathon’s FINAL Placement Contest—your poem stood out in a very competitive field of submissions. The poems of the 37 qualifiers can be accessed from my current "Finish Line" blog post. Time to take off those running shoes and give those feet a rest!
