I’ve lingered for far too long
in the shallows of this water
A body cold and constant embraces
the gift of a daughter
To be wrapped in the arms
of a tormenting giant
She is carried with an air
of relentless defiance
Beautiful beyond comparison
Her lungs embrace the toxic air
Knowing this she takes a breath
Beautiful beyond comparison
The experience of reality
to her was a formality
Engendered as the giant’s gift
she damned the waters
and slowed our drift
What can we learn from
the remains of a goddess
We must change the pattern
before we become godless
Interrupt this flux
that connects the complexities
Learn to uncover
the secrets in subtleties
Beautiful beyond comparison
Her lungs embrace the toxic air
Knowing this she takes a breath
begging for her chemical rest
A body cold and constant
embraces the gift of a daughter
