Elements Part 3: Water

I am water, precious water, the most important source of life on earth. Master of all shape shifters, I am ever moving and changing my appearance. When temperatures dip low enough, I show my freezing solid state of ice in crystallization and softly enchant you with my beauty in the form of snowflakes; each tiny flake uniquely different. Skaters skate on my glassy ice lake and skiers fly down from mountain top runs. My snowy sleigh rides romance. I am a requisite for every thirsty plant or tree as they display their dance with me in transpiration and in evaporation. My magical cloak covers almost three quarters of the earth. As the seasons change I cordially oblige offering sleet or hail, then without a backward glance, I waltz with spring in showers. With my precipitation lovely blooming trees accept hydration. Children with impermeable galoshes splash delightfully in shallow puddles I have created. Lilac blossoms drift into placid lakes where tourists flock, come summer, to swim and play. I meander through tall pines in mysterious misty fog in fall, then invigorate the earth each morning with diamond dew drops. I invite all to travel on my salty seas as my foamy waves splash upon the shore. I leave you awestruck with towering waterfalls and swift flowing rivers for white water rafting or fishing in quiet solitude. My waters provide food and drink for a hungry thirsty world. Look to my lofty clouds to know there is a heaven! 4-9-16 Contest Elements Part 3: Water Sponsor Brian Davey 1) HYDRATION (2) REQUISITE (3) PRECIPITATION (4) IMPERMEABLE (5) INVIGORATE (6) CRYSTALLIZATION.
