Outrageous_Ring · POND WATER (NYE MIX) - VOL II
Footprints in the mud
Leaves dripping gold
The stinking algae stains your skin
But it doesn’t stain you, alight, exposed
You lift your arms
Rooted in slime
Creation responds to your merest whisper
Tripping over your skin, entangled, entwined
Find the light
But the light finds you
The shadows slide off, no dusk, no dew
Can mar the glory of what you’ve become
Preserved in amber, born anew
From pondwater
Pondwater
Pull in the humid
And breathe it out fresh
Transform what you touch, no heart could withstand
The brightness within, unblemished, possessed
Transfer the brightness
Absorb the pain
You fell but you’re standing, the mud makes you clean
You fly without moving, silent, aflame
Find the light
But the light finds you
The shadows slide off, no dusk, no dew
Can mar the glory of what you’ve become
Preserved in amber, born anew
From pondwater
Pondwater
No sacrament purer
No baptism more blessed
Breathless and broken
A hand to your chest
The water will rise
And carry you down
But bring the light with you
What’s lost will be found
Found at last
Find the light
But the light finds you
The shadows slide off, no dusk, no dew
Can mar the glory of what you’ve become
Preserved in amber, born anew
From pondwater
Pondwater
