Shape of Water

I am immortal, Infinitely in a constant cycle, Ice, water, air, I’m the first thing you need for survival You search for me in hidden creeks and majestic-looking waterfalls, You find me as raindrops, morning dew, or even hail pellets I am essential, The very cause and reason you’re alive, I float and mix in your veins, 90% of your blood You are full of me, at least sixty percent of your body is composed of me, You are one with my liquid, from your head to your toes I am everything, I become anything you put me inside, Whether the material be plastic, glass, or even aluminum tin You freeze me into cubes or mix me into complex looking recipes, You use me as an ingredient, a simple necessity I am water, Something everyone takes for granted regularly, But my shape is so exciting since it comes in many ways.
