Poems to Express: WATER

Poems to Express

As I shared in my notes a few days ago, my therapist challenged me to post one poem a week regardless of its length or whether I love it enough. so after Amit Charles sending me the below beautiful quote “creativity isn’t about being impressive, it’s about being expressive” (I LOVED that btw), I felt inspired to start a weekly series called “Poems to Express.” Every Saturday, I’ll post a poem I wrote during the week, challenging my old mindset of sharing only what I judge good and long enough for a Substack post. So, in this post is a short poem I wrote this week, called WATER. :)

WATER

To live is 
to dwell in our
effervescent seas
rivers with no banks
and dry spells in our eyes.
