Water

The water is close 
Yet we drown in sollace
The dissaray of despare piles like the water that piles and heaps behind the dams

Our bodies lie decrepid and dry 
Yet we are close
The water drips 
And
It dissapears 
Into the body that now is just as it was before water

We can see this wealth
A body that would sustain ours
Synergetic and symbiotic
Yet, the water remains distant

Our eyes feast on the drip as it sprints and hides
We can crawl but we cannot really
We are all to weak to brave the journey of dust and dry despair

Drip

And those of us who do
Realize
The water is not real
And we all die
All mortal
All with our pains and greivences
The suffering and eternality 

The water was a lie
