Watershed

You have been my companion all my life
Soothed my nerves and calmed my mind
Yet I've shunned you and tried to leave you behind

Through the din of the ghastly tempest hail
And the blizzard's dreadful wail
You have been my companion all my life

My muse, standing tall, through the most catastrophic droughts
I now remember the relief that you brought

Celestial spheres speak in a simple tongue
Radiant symbols of the sun
Show the imminent fork in the road

The somber memoirs of yore
An abattoir for the soul
Reveal the beaten path to your abode

At long last, I've come to lie in your bed
I have given up, please hold my hand
I have chosen wrong, now I choose you instead
For my lifetime of mistakes, please forgive me if you can

This river of blood became stagnant over time
Beds of lotuses and rose mallows adorn the site
The moon came and washed the filth away with the tides
In its light I see your likeness and your smile

This river of blood that flows through my veins
Nourished the abyssal depths living inside me
With all the sorrows that you assuaged
You are now living inside me

At long last, I lie in your ocean bed
I have given up, you hold my hand
I have chosen wrong, now I choose you instead
For my lifetime of mistakes, please forgive me if you can
