What began as a trickle becomes a flood, flows like the tide wave on wave to drown the past, instinctively revive
Bloom awakened with dewy touch, senses devour droplets of love, quenching need sates thirst casts a glow banishes hurt

And in that ray, no time nor place can separate what is bound, beyond denial, complete as one, the only truth that needs to be found
For in the truth that is the light or waters rushing to bring us to shore one cannot escape what fate has cast and destiny has procured
