Water
Everything I love turns to water
I've tried to hold it in my hands
but it trickles through my fingers just like water
All I've ever thirsted for is water
but its a babbling brook that I don't understand
It cackles as it courses through my fingers
I'm left with just a dampness on my hands
Everything reflects upon the water
Everythings an image in this pool
To reach for such an image is your folly
The image becomes a ripple
and you a fool
Its only water
If I feel physically as if the top of my head were taken off, I know that is poetry.
Emily Dickinson (1830-1886) American poet.
