Water Holds Memory by Orly Pearlman
Water holds memory
It knows when something is wrong,
It can feel the bite of words
The tsunami of emotions
The sting of actions.
Maybe it hurts
When people step in it
Or dump trash into its beauty.
Maybe it just wants to be heard
To be helped
To be listened.
And at the end of the day,
You're 60 percent water
Water that holds memory
That feels pain
That longs to be noticed
That knows when you're hurting.
