Oceanic Riverbed

Thank you for the words you wrote
On that long and honest note
Stranded by the castle’s moat
Testing you while waters rose

And I was a dam with bitter convictions
You were the ocean of hard-rock decisions
So the dam had a token and broke through its walls
While the ocean’s emotions would rise and then fall
So wise and so tall, it beat through the days
Alone, and so peaceful ‘till skies became hazed
The beavers of pureness left for new homes
‘Cause the surface of water filled with shark bones

Sharp were the swords of the fish, so unclean
Dirty the sea with new matter. The queen
Of moat’s castle came down to yell forth,
“Depart you two cores! Uncover your worth!”
She leaned ‘gainst the railing with husband at side
The King, held her sweetly, as royal waves sighed

So the dam and the ocean continued to seep
Yet saw all their damage and started to weep
Clinging too closely, for they were now one
Crying morosely at the damage they’d done

To simply be parted was the worst ache of heart
That’s why dam killed the wall at the start
Now disputes flowed and the monarchs dove in
Stuck on both sides, mutated by sin
“We bless this reunion, we call forth the saints!
And they’ll baptize your depths, erase all the stains.”
At that exact moment, the beavers returned
Salt withered up and algae was burned
Swordfish sought friendship, forgetting their weapons
Shark bones were buried ’neath soiled complexions

Then the two bodies united in love
Chanting the message of white, gleaming doves
That’s when pure joy will arouse to all ears
The night of the day when both mothers leak tears
