Reservoir 3: A Prayer of Grief and Hope

Reservoir 3

You meet me at your reservoir

Ocean of love

Deep within you

Filling you, overflowing you

Where it flows

New life springs up

Light shines forth

Life spreads with every touch

Alas the turning

Despise the reservoir

Lies, hate, cruel rejection

Thrown back upon you

Absorbing it all

Suffer thorns and barbs

Deep enough to puncture

Your reservoir

All these wounds

Lifeblood draining

And so you pour out

All your love

Until it is finished

Your body broken

Your reservoir empty

Hardened

A cold tomb they lay you in

Waiting
