Of Water, The Water King

Of Water, The Water King

Made of water, of the water
Winged mask come forth 
Elemental Guardian King
You manifest the force
Of sea and ice
Of rain and spring
Of waterfall and stream 
And all your waves come crashing forth
To heal my self esteem 

Connect with me
And guide me 
Above this glistening shore
Steadily repeating 
Washing through my heart once more
Roll away and cleanse from me
These tears of unheard truths
Drowned out in your seascape 
You heal these stings of youth

Whispered on the waters
Your balm to soothe my storm 
Bathing in your waves now
I know who I was born 
I am in your crystals 
And you are in my form 
Rinse from me my old self
To whom I was before
