Water

Water is life

And life is water.

And nothing exists in

A sentient world without

Nourishing liquids

Sustaining, maintaining,

Retaining and growing from eon to age.

Evolving, revolving and solving

The mysteries

Through daylight and moonlight

And no light at all.

 

Bank-lapping ripples at lakeside retreats.

Beach-bashing waves that repeat and repeat.

Rains gently tapping on rooftops of tin,

A calming elixir, a delicate friend.

 

All that we do,

All that we are,

All that we ever have been

Or might be

Can only be done if

The waters of life

Continue to flow endlessly.
