Take me to the place my body seeks, <br />In a swirl of water: torrents, rains and streams, <br />Place me among the wet sands absorbing my tears, <br />And once again I shall be allowed to breathe. <br /> <br />Place me back into my ocean, <br />Let me reach my mind’s eye stream, as, <br />These beads of sweat are running, <br />As my thirst begins to peak. <br /> <br />Take me back to the place, its calling, <br />To feel the water escaping from my palms, <br />And cleanse and moisten my free spirit, <br />From the drying world I’m among.<br /><br />Melissa Coventry<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/water-baby/
