Nourishing the body
Cleansing the soul
Water both heals and harms
Washes away sins perceived and actual
Unlearned lessons replacing the empty space
Melts away the layer of anger and vengeance
Oozing from an emerald past unseen
Quenches the thirst for medicinal healing
While unwittingly spreading disease
Removes a dirtied film
Which hides the beauty beneath
Nurtured by science and spirit
Water falls in torrents, waves, and streams
Revealing Her pain, calling for aid,
And awakening spirits.
