For The Water Bearer At The Gates

In a dark world where many fear real authenticity
and cannot handle the rawness of everyday life
there is a true light to be found in every Aquarius.

Many people tend to misjudge them as very careless
and wrongly assume they feel nothing at all or ever
but the power of their love can be quite precarious

In their glimmering eyes there is a very deep truth
that only they might be able to fully understand; 
perhaps that is why they're not always so serious

But because humanity is their greatest love of all
they will work to ensure their water jar pours forth
although with the right people they are gregarious.

This poem is part of my zodiac-themed collection. "To Honor Winter's Shadows" was the first in this series. Pisces is next in this series, though I've no idea when that'll be. The poems I write honestly come of their own accord and I don't like to force my talent. Thank you for reading!
