Bring Me Deep Water

Bring me quick water

swifting down mountains

through canyons

over falls

and I’ll fill my chalice.

 .

Bring me slow water

carving up sand,

teasing the dunes,

and when the tide goes

take me too.

.

Bring me rain water

storming through trees;

I’ll toss my umbrella

high to the wind

and watch it dance.

 .

Bring me freezing water,

sweet flakes

veiling my face.

Marry me to the sky

and I’ll wear white.

 .

Bring me deep water,

a well of sapphire glances

and I will drop

three wishes down

to kiss your mystery.
