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
