Sustenance

Such a small gesture 
a cold bottle of water; 
It invigorates;
Refreshing swallow cuts sweat 
leaving lips once again wet;

There’s no replacement 
for a bit of ice melting; 
Dripping down your skin
a trail of chills and shivers, 
Your nerve endings awaken; 

Divinely flavored
a lingering taste of love 
to keep you balanced; 
Not letting the well go dry 
you provide me sustenance.
