A Loveable Liquid

The throat ran with little rivulets
Having travelled through dry sections
Head held high on mountains

Ahead was a rumbling stream
Showcasing a marvelous wisdom
Throats refreshed with the gift of a lifetime

Sitting by the lakeside in the cool evening
Imagine the beauty of the sunsetting
Its reflection on the mirrorlike water, breathtaking!

Listen to the mighty roar of powerful ocean waves
As it pounds against rocky shores
And up in the sky, dripping tears

What about the tumbling down of a waterfall?
Down over the rocks to establish a call
A curtain of white water on the wall

Sweet sensational taste of heaven
Providing fishes their haven
Loveable liquid, nature's guardian

Mermaids in tropical seas
Holding beautiful roses
Enjoying different lovely poses

Under its generous appearance
Flowers bloom in abundance
As green leaves joyfully dance

Give me some water 
And I'll be smarter

A loveable liquid
A friend of all in its need
A best friend of all indeed!

No many can tease such feelings and emotions from careful consideration of precious liquid, but you have done it well. I enjoyed 'dripping tears' and 'taste of heaven. '

Oh, what a great idea, and you made it come true, Adeniji. The playfulness of the young waters and the patience of the old ones.
