Help needed

I have this text that I once took from the internet.
It is about an IE language that has developed into what now
looks like an Asian language, completely with tones, monosyllabic etc.

Now I can't find the article anymore!
All I ha ve left is a poem.

Does anybody know what language this is?
Google searches don't help and I have no idea where
to ask else.

If you recognise this language, please let me know.

eyes like black waters
