Best Water Bearer Poems
Unorthodox, this water- bearer rules,
an Aquarian god moody yet calm in the
face of persistent winds…his pail of wine
gushing on mouths of February streams,
like an outpour into first night’s cycle
of unpredictable moves, reigning like
a prince-in-waiting, this heir
from brazen garnet stars:
Oh, his vision is light years ahead of time;
breaking from clasps of tradition,
his maverick streaks defy life's norms
and while he dives into a crest of independence,
fool he is for needing warmth and affection.
Yet,a blend of hermit's pride and gentleness
dares the element of air to brew a storm,
then romances the lusty sea of love in a flash...
pray tell, how can one define a mystery?

He carries a jar, full of water;
water that no one knows its source!
He pours water as he stands beyond
the stars, as Pisces, the twin fish, continue
to rule over their astrological reign
on Earth.
Just like their predecessor, Aries,
they will end their astrological reign,
when water from the Water
Bearer’s jar reaches Earth.

In a dark world where many fear real authenticity
and cannot handle the rawness of everyday life
there is a true light to be found in every Aquarius.
Many people tend to misjudge them as very careless
and wrongly assume they feel nothing at all or ever
but the power of their love can be quite precarious
In their glimmering eyes there is a very deep truth
that only they might be able to fully understand;
perhaps that is why they're not always so serious
But because humanity is their greatest love of all
they will work to ensure their water jar pours forth
although with the right people they are gregarious.
This poem is part of my zodiac-themed collection. "To Honor Winter's Shadows" was the first in this series. Pisces is next in this series, though I've no idea when that'll be. The poems I write honestly come of their own accord and I don't like to force my talent. Thank you for reading!
(A lone voice whispers)
Will you lift up your veil and pray for the innocent faces of those starving and feeling unclean? The people displaced by those hidden, unseen?
Or the dark souls in plain sight who covet total power over every scene?
If so, follow me.
For as a wise man once said.
A man will meet you carrying an earthen pitcher of water; follow him into the house where he goes in."
Or will you, exhausted and tired?
Just go about your business in abject silence, as they carry on their wickedness with total impunity and such violence?

The Age of Aquarius is symbolised by the "water-bearer," often associated with pouring out knowledge, truth, and spiritual wisdom to humanity.
The veil lifting reflects that old paradigms are crumbling and a new earth is slowly emerging—not through force, but through frequency.
The quote is biblical refering to a transition point, guiding disciples from the old covenant to the new, often seen as a precursor to a new era of spiritual awareness.
Just look at the release of recent files. What was once done in secret behind a curtain of secrecy is coming into the light of judgment.
Have you lifted yours yet?
I hope so.
Salute.
