i am a body of water
a child of the port
born under the sun
the scent of the ocean
always lingering
i am a body of water
the same stream
my ancestors used to wash their bodies
rinse their hands
give them life
i am a body of water
others may make a home of me
explore me & enjoy me
but i always hold the sovereignty
the power
i am a body of water
glistening & reflecting
mirroring my surroundings
beautiful
even when things around me are not
i am a body of water
more than meets the eye
an abundance
just below the surface
hidden in plain sight
i am a body of water
full & deep
so overwhelming
sometimes
i even drown in myself
i am a body of water
essential
vast
incomparable
everything
