H20 Poem by Christopher Cariad

Water my love,
your reflection a host.
You bring light into my eyes,
revive the dead back to life.
Just your touch alone
can move the mountains,
and make sand from the stone.
Our marriage,
forever changed the pact
history made with this failing world.
We devastated nations and
murdered the land’s value
with our love alone.
But with its destruction we built
our own memorial to a love story
never to be known.
No, there shall not be another war,
nor hate to fall upon this new world.
For it has been purified…
Purified from the beasts
that once inhabited.
