Water bearer

Thoughts move forward 

like the wind...

the body will move too

and animate itself

like a puppet

doing what you command it to,

but the emotions

are slow 

and swell

like the sea 

lapping at your feet,

reminding you of what was

of who you were

and who you thought you should've been.

And the water,

like the tides

and your emotions

will ebb and flow,

but never recede.
