Earth Element of Water
The foremost need for earthly water is hydration;
without its properties, there is no cell creation.
Good cultivation of our crops needs irrigation.
All life craves water to survive, a requisite;
we are part water, need supply beyond a perquisite.
No matter what we do...a huge prerequisite.
It comes and goes, recycled by precipitation,
brought on by its evaporation, condensation;
this cycling is a gift of nature's circulation.
Absorbed by all except those rocks, impermeable,
our water hydrates soil, refills our water table;
keeps our aquatic life in water bodies stable.
For arid deserts, monsoon rains invigorate
green grass and refill ponds where wildlife migrate
to feed and hydrate, strengthen bodies, procreate.
Symmetrical snowflakes, formed by crystallization,
like floating angels, stir great vivification -
one-of-a-kind designs cause mystification.
Of earth's four basic elements, it is one-quarter,
and there would be no life without our precious water;
we have our mother earth...and water is her daughter.
