Notes About The Poem

Reservoir

Reservoir 

Filled with quiet secrets
Often hidden from our sight 
There's stillness to the surface
In depth, there's strength and might. 

People gather and are drawn to 
The impressive stature, surely
There is peace around this entity 
In spite of walls, so burly 

Made by man it may be
But a lesson lies within..
There's a sense of holy presence 
Past the water's surface, thin.

With it's patience comes the wisdom 
To relieve our hearts, so dry
And the fresh taste of the truth is
Of a purpose from on high 

In the dryness of this season;
Parched air cracking at our throats
We hear hope of restoration 
As we huddle in our boats 

A reservoir we can all be..
Attractive bright and pure.
From stillness starts a journey
To the driest captive's door 

Let's aspire to be filled up
With that clear pure water, bright.
May the tired, the lost, the thirsty
Be the ones to know respite

And as rain descends from heaven
Filling hearts up to the brim
What we capture will define us;
How we fall and how we win. 

So avoid the murky waters
As you travel round this land
Be the bringer of refreshment 
In your words and in your hand 

Let the purest water top up
Every deep part of your soul
May the parts of you together
Make you more than just the whole.
