The taste of water

 


 

When the sea pours into a cloud

Thr grayness of the sky Stretches

Today it has devoured every wave

To leave a dried up salt below

The glitter of jewel now basks

The slime turns parched in open

The turquoise and the green vanishes

For the whisper of water is voiceless

While so far I stood on the echoing shore

Trying to pick one layer from the other

Eventually all life ends into the skies

Leaving salt in the devastated eye

The words freeze and only memories swarm

The unsaid word , like a wasted seed

Full of unsown promise and wasted season.

 

The waves that have now filled the sky

They move the still clouds

Crash into each other even in heavens

Her smile still erupts in the lightening

Sometimes mom pours her pure blessings

Into the dried up cauldron

That creates an unseen and unfelt brine

And pours out from the eye .
