A Prose Poem- Water
Water Whisperer-Message on the Water
The waters sparkled with liquid power
She walked down to the river that evening, just as the orange sun was dipping into the horizon. The waters were warm to the touch, so inviting and so welcoming. Judith always loved coming to sit beside the waters from the time of her childhood. Her parents lived beside the sea, so that was familiar territory for her. The sea was always so tranquil and so welcoming that she could not keep away from it. She dived into those warm waters and sailed out to meet the sinking sun, as he lay to rest after his day’s work was done.
The waters of the sea were so hypnotic to Judith as she watched the waves lapping gently against the shore. The soft waves caressing the shores reminded her of her mother combing her hair, so softly and gently. Those fingers gently touched her hair and untangled all the knots. Her mother Eve was a gentle yet strong force in her life when she was her daughter and then later got married and was a drunkard’s wife.
Judith took a handful of water in her palms and held it like a cup, as the waters languidly flowed out from between the gaps of her fingers. This water cup of hers, could not contain the water, like life that just keeps moving forward and cannot be stopped. She wished that she could hold the waters of life in her hands so that happy moments would never slip away from her. There was always a message in the water, as it sparkled with its liquid power.
She lost her father when she was just a newborn and her mother passed away when she had her firstborn. She missed her mother and yet when she sat beside the waters on the soft silky sand, she felt comforted by its presence, just like when her mother consoled her. The sea gave Judith that same warm feeling in her heart, that her mother always could do for her in life. It was a comforting presence. It was like a person who could make the troubles of life drift away just by being present in your life. There was always comfort in the tranquil sea, offering comfort for eternity.
It was night and the waters were colder now. It reminded Judith of those days in her life, when she had strife as a drunkard’s wife. Her heart hurt and her body felt cold, like the times, when she was all alone with no one to hold. She was tormented by her husband and there was no escape from his harsh treatment. His anger and resentment, when she lost their only child was something he never got over. Their two-year-old son Jason, died in an automobile accident, while she was driving the car. He never forgave her. A year later he abandoned Judith and never spoke to her again. He had a new family now. While she was all alone. There was always solace in the water as it offered a silent comfort to her.
The new day was now beginning, the birds were once again singing. The skies were brightening as the golden sun started to rise from the horizon. Judith dipped her hands into the water, as she thought about how her life had changed over the last two years. She was now married to a good and honest man, who loved her and whom she loved with all her heart. There was hope and she had happiness and love now in her life. Judith made a water cup in her hands and knew that this was the way her life was planned. The waters seeped from between her closed fingers, reminding her that life is so transitory, the more we try to cling on to it, the more it will slip away. There was always a message in the water, a subtle and silent comforting presence for her.
The sun had now risen in the sky. Judith touched her tummy and felt a tiny foot kick her inside. Yes, there was a new life growing within her. There was hope, love, and happiness in her life. She was happy that the waters of life had answered her prayers. Judith always observed and understood the waters, as she wrote her wishes on its waves and sent her love to illuminate its darkest caves. She made a water cup with her hands and gulped down the water, as she tasted its sweetness and felt gratitude rise like waves within her heart.
Judith was a Water Whisperer, she knew and understood the waters, as they understood her. Life is like an ocean of water, giving us so much in life, we need to allow it to enter our minds and our hearts, so that we can sail on its waves in rough and calm weather. With the power of the waters of life and creation within our hearts, minds, and souls, we will be nourished, enriched, and made whole. There is always a message written in every tiny drop of water, it has every answer, to every question you speak, just close your eyes, and meditate on what you seek. Open your mind and heart to life, to all that is true, because the Water Whisperer lies within you.
