Liquid Life

Heavy gray skies are weeping;
Into the ground it's seeping.
What doesn't run off remains;
Bountiful life it sustains.

Refilling rivers and streams;
An endless cycle it seems.
Evaporates to ascend;
Rains again and keeps the trend.

Valsa George February 8, 2026 at 7:54 PM Beautiful ! Rain is cyclic. Excess rain water flows filling canals and rivers. What remains in the soil sustains plants and keeps the earth green. Some water evaporates, forming clouds and come down again as rain. Bartholomew Williams February 10, 2026 at 3:52 PM Thank you very much, Valsa! Yes, that is exactly the message of my poem. I appreciate your stop-by and kind comments. Blessings & very best, Bartholomew
