Cool, clear water

Falls on my palm.

Cool, clear water

Running down my face

Oh, cold it was,

It awakens.

Living, thriving, cold

Torrents moving, fear

Alive.

The water is here

I am afraid;

Afraid of water.

I cry out loud

To no one.

There is no reply.

Am I to die?

Heaven only knows;

Oh, only God knows.

I think of things;

Memories flood

Into my mind.

My heart surges

As time passes.

My lungs are burning

From lack of air.

I clench my fist

I'm sinking

A scream

Torn from me

In the innocent air.
