Water

They say you never miss the water
til your well runs dry
And the tears you cry
Are not enough to end the drought.
The flood of forty nights of rain
Are not enough to ease the pain.
Scorched earth that lingers
Long after memories fade
If
They ever do
Water, where are you?


They say you never miss the water
Til your well runs dry.
And well,
Yours is parched.
Like cracked clay in the sierra desert.
Void of water that quenches.
Dehydrated Dirt,
The Earth,
And You.
You,
Counting molecules of hydrogen.
Two.
Oxygen.
One.
Searching for relief from the
Scorching of the sun!
Water, where are you?


They say you never miss the water
Until your well runs dry.
And you've been drawing back
Dry buckets for years.
Depleted for years
Defeated for years
But too prideful to
Admit what you fear...
If you don't find water
Extinction is near


Because no one can survive without water
