The Shape of Water

Having studied science as a subject I can say, Water goes much the container way. Dew drop-shape, tumbler-shape, pitcher-shape, Well-shape, stream-shape, river-shape, ocean-shape… The shape of water and heart of water may resemble, I imagine water in a pure crystal shape assemble. Transparency! You can find from it a fallen needle, Trouble it and you can fish out moralities evil. The shape depends on the thirst it can quench, And as per the dignity of the matter float or drench… Shape floods; shape droughts; The shape makes many walk miles and loses heart… The shape makes us smile, laugh and determines, The shape of the earth, heaven, and the cosmos… Shapes make masters like Jesus proclaim louder: “If anyone gives even a cup of cold water… That person will certainly not lose their reward…” Just like a human heart shape can be soft or hard. Discussions can go hotter till we finally utter: Is shapelessness the real shape of water…? Or going around and around and conclude: Faith shaped, Hope shaped, Love shaped… ===== === If ‘you’ and ‘I’ are water fed Water is, then, ‘we’ shaped. 22 June 2021
