Bodies of Water

Bodies of water are blueish-green, clear blue, dark blue

holy sites. But is there enough purpose and meaning in that?

A body of water trapped in an indifferent universe

must justify its own existence,


just like a self-conscious sacred spot


must ask itself “why am I here?”

Being a refuge for others

might be enough justification

for some oceans, rivers, lakes, and streams.

But is there enough meaning in that,

objectively speaking?

Those bodies of water

were created out of tears.
