Water

I am water, as you are

and in returning to you,

I lose nothing;\n

for all,

as it falls, is

brought back to me

in song.

Let me then be

not the drop, but

water, to find you.

Oh, lo! I have

this lost love, in

it the lonely

s p a n n e r s

that hold the night, solitary, wandering

following

light, oh bright!

• William Carlos Williams
