OSI Prompt 59: Live Water


Its been a month since my last attempt at Haiku..so here's to the season and the "Spring" in my steps :)

Live Water

Bent, broken and fatally weak
I lay there dying, by the creek
I heard the thunder, then the rains
Water filled my lungs, then my veins

I stood again, shed all my blood
Wild and free, a furious flood
They screamed, they clutched,then drowned in me
I'm alive again, what i used to be.
