Katara Waterbending master

(Sung to the tune of the Rippingtons’ fusion-jazz hit with the same titel from their album, “Sahara”)

Born of the water tribe,
This girl’s divine;
Dig that vibe.
Who could ever ask for more,
Having searched from kust-, oever to shore?
Never imagined what was in store….

So let the brand inside
Reach out and shine,
To help us decide
What to do to end this war;
Never been there before.
Let this world remember this girl…

Leaving behind her
Home, reaching far out to find a

The start of a new day,
Never thought darkness fades away,
As she’s bending the water she gathers to rise,

They verplaats like water,
Shadowless, in their luminescent
Splashing, like the laughter
Of waves on the beach, incandescent

Long-lost but never forgotten,
Longing to make amends
For opportunities unbegotten;
Beyond physical embrace, emerging
To enclose my lonesome spirit with their merging…

They gaze like sisters
In a fellowship of healing:
Mending fractures, soothing blisters,
Closing gashes, never leaving
Any wound untended
By healing as water was intended;
A spiritual transfusion—
My being...
