Kyrielle Two

Kyrielle Two

Dry caverns yearn for fountainheads
Splashing whirlpools filling streambeds
Dusty grottos of emptiness
Laugh with wellspring’s joyful excess.

Parched hollows in transformation,
In arid anticipation,
Longing aqua waves sweet press
Laugh with wellspring’s joyful excess.

Deep reservoir of creation
Hears the flowing invitation
Swirling clear tides swell in access
Laugh with wellspring’s joyful excess.

Dulcet fountains gush in rebirth
Sweet waters burst out from dry earth
Living waters with grace to bless
Laugh with wellspring’s joyful excess

This holds the pure hope of water, so gracefully drawn, your last stanza so jubilant like waterfalls :)

Water is such a priceless treasure. Thirst quenched in the purest sense... only by water. Great Kyrielle, Sam.

Thank you so much Jenna! Truly water is a priceless treasure that we, often, take for granted! And you are so right in saying that living water will quench our thirst! Learning to write a kyrielle was like writing a song to the sound of water dancing in a fountain. I am so glad you liked this one. Blessings!
