feeling baptized & anointed. your poem is liquid fire...

JF kind words indeed - thank you

Water, the primary substance. Can't help think of the religious tone in the last 3 lines, and the man baptised, he who walked on water and turned it into wine...  
 
Whale, I enjoyed your words so much that I poured a glass of red and twice read your poem out aloud. Great to see your poetry hanging from the green walls again, sir.

A great comment - I'll join you in that glass!

"barnyards and brothels" ... Brilliant

I love the imagery this evokes

Where life begins and where life ends.

I like how everything in your poem is connected,
like weaving a web...

pretty much that's all we need to do - just connect :)

gods this is good whale, i've missed your wonderful way with words. welcome back

Hey ShadoeWriter - thanks for the add to your library - smiling

Hi. I loved this write. For me water, was a metaphor for life in your write. Than when it was realized it was a necessity, the snake, greed, turned delivering the need into a monopoly.

yes water is life - kind comments thanks FY
