The Scent of Water

Death was upon the heart I gathered in And I found my needs had no importance All that I saw, diminished dreams again Lost years faded, I'll never reverance You offered me love to comfort my breath A welcomed hand stretched to my withdrawal To heal my world and torment my heart's death Giving hope to slay the demons I saw This gift of salvation poured from your heart To cleanse my spirit from its weathered gray With scent of water, its beautiful part Grasping your hand tight, I asked you to stay You found me dying and near my heart's tomb Watered my soul, made it flourish and bloom contest The Scent of Water 7/10/14
