Dearest Sara, how beautifully profound is the notion you have expressed! For indeed, there exists no force more formidable upon this terrestrial plane than that of water. It possesses the remarkable ability to circumnavigate even the mightiest of mountains, impervious to the mountain's influence. Well done

morning dearest Sotto--thanks for stopping by and for sharing your kind words and thoughts. My dad always said, "be strong like water." Wasn't until I ventured off to college that I truly understand the power and wisdom in his words. Have a splendid day! Blessings, your poetess friend, Sara

no greater power on earth than water dear friend, water can go around a big mountain but mountain cannot effect the water, lol a therapist once told me that.

wow, your therapist shared some powerful words. That metaphor would make a great poem about strength. Thanks for stopping by and for commenting. I appreciate you, Sara
