World Water Day by Ibrahim Areef
Hopes and dreams
Of two dozen pence gleams
At the bottom of shoals,
To which we relinquish our souls.
Where the Earth sunders
We deliver a plunder,
As though with time
Our words will rhyme.
Just look for a moment,
And the glint is absent.
You can hold onto yours,
And earn what you implore.
Keep the water clean
As you pursue a dream.
Your life will begin
Once you see what’s within.
Hopes and dreams Of two dozen pence gleams
At the bottom of shoals, To which we relinquish our souls.
Where the Earth sunders We deliver a plunder,
As though with time Our words will rhyme.
Just look for a moment, And the glint is absent.
You can hold onto yours, And earn what you implore.
Keep the water clean As you pursue a dream.
Your life will begin Once you see what’s within.
Once you see what’s within
Your life will begin
As you pursue a dream
Keep the water clean
And earn what you implore
You can hold onto yours
And the glint is absent
Just look for a moment
Our words will rhyme
As though with time
We deliver a plunder
Where the Earth sunders
To which we relinquish our souls
At the bottom of shoals
Of two dozen pence gleams
Hopes and dreams.
