Dam of dawns,
storing life's waters,
washing against
heart's embankment.
Flowing through
the mind's filter,
reservoir
fills with regret's molecules
or the effervescent
of purified hopes.

I like the reservoir title, the holding back. S1 - dam of dawns, powerful, all the tomorrows; the waters of life lapping against our heart - great phrases extending your metaphor. S2 - the water of life flowing through the mind filling with either regret or hope.
Thank you for your tapping-into-your-source entry.
Marlene
