Like Water

LIKE WATER We are a river molecule, A fleeting flowing moment, We are the stream. Just passing ever down, Then gone we are again, Gone up into the air. To quickly fly away, In but a moment’s moment. We are vanished, And rained into the sea. We hitch a ride upon the tide, Coming in then going out. A last we are the ice, Carved from a frigid sea. And quickly we float by, Inside a fleeting floe. Back to liquid latitudes. Where we are changed, And changed again, But still remain, The molecule of life.
