Note: Our planet Earth has the wrong name. It should be Planet Water because 70% of its surface is covered by liquid water. Life here is water based. The search for life elsewhere in the Universe starts with the search for water. There may be other forms of life, but water-based life is the life that we know.

planet’s name is wrong
Water, not Earth, it should be
for water bathes it
search for life beyond,
by divining for water,
for life craves water
mater and matrix
water is the crux of life,
fluid H2O
The water cycle
drains rainfall, down to ocean
where vapor forms clouds
terrestrial cells
swim in primordial soup,
in bags from ocean
dying for a drink,
the most dear commodity
on Earth is Water
the worth of water
is unfathomable, til
the well runs bone dry
plants tap the sun’s light
to split water molecules,
leaking oxygen
animals breathe in
the oxygen made by plant’s
photosynthesis
plants split the water
made by all respiring cells
breathing oxygen
fluid water soft,
is yielding and compliant,
but flow carves canyons
your tears are salty
for your blood came from the sea
in circulation
the whale ancestors
as fish climbed, from sea to shore
went back as mammals
