Like Waters That Rose Beneath
Location
The sun torments the earth
But gives birth to freedom
Like waters that rose beneath
In perpetuity, it wanders the kingdom
What essence is this route
It’s eternal deluge in gyre
If it only bears doubt
If contradiction echoes its empire
Which Mecca does this soul sail
Longing for purpose in this endless domain
If winds of concrete seize its trail
Squandered of its reason, destined for pain
It splattered of its soaring leak
And gathered all its limbs
I witnessed the genesis of its physique
A painted lake as serene like my dreams
It comes as a mist that nurtures
In great rivers bound for worth
The meadows mowed of treasures
Like a mother, it incubates for birth
The sun invents the earth
And gives death to futility
Like waters that fall beneath
In perpetuity, it promises fertility
