The Spirit of Water

Find me in the surge of the seas Find me in the stillness of the lake Find me in the flow of the river find me in every cloud shape Find in me the power to shape a stone Find in me the relief of parched throats Find me in the sorrow of a tear Find me in the hiss of a doused fire Find me frozen in a huge glacier Find me in the dewdrop of a flower Find me swirling in a hot cup of tea Find me in IV Find me happiest when I come down as rain For I am pure then sanctified by the heavens Each day you see me touch me but do you feel my pain? You, use me abuse me, dam me, pollute me, leave me…. For you know I’ll come back as rain again. Afroze Motif: Nature
