Drink this water

I feel senseless. Restless. Horseless. Without water. 

I am thirsty in a desert. 

At night I lay in bed  and I think about my footprints on the sand of every beach 

I have ever cried on. 

Has the water forgotten me?

There have been heartbeats in time where I would visit the ocean so religiously 

So ceremoniously 

That I swear I heard the water chant

'I will never forget you'

And each time my heart breaks lately I think 

God

I've got to get me to some water.
