"I often muse on the omnipresence of water. It's wild, untamed necessity. It's triune existence. It's sheer functionality. Scientists get excited when we find even a trace on another planet even though we are surrounded by this ancient presence, this liquid gold, it is so rarely appreciated. We are all thirsty at some time; it brings life, refreshment, relief..it is synonymous with the Spirit."- Quote from poet

Listen to poem:

Come to me.. And I will quench. Umbrella free.. And I will drench. Fill your rivers.. Every one. Morning grass.. I rest upon. Cut the rock In Canyon Grand. Cool you as Your skin is fanned.. Descend to earth As sad clouds cry, Restore the arid Desert, dry. I feed each seedling Help them grow.. Science spells me Two H, one O I shift with ease From glass, to sky Can drip or run No captive, I I fill you up In dust you'll rest. It's life I bring I am the best.. A timeless presence; A pool, so balmy.. Respect me though. I am tsunami From dinosaur To new born babe, I never leave.. Despite the grave. On Earth I'm gold. A gift, you see.. My value is Polutant-free The greatest solvent Of them all.. Mix mortar for The strongest wall.. I lubricate The thirsty tongue, I wet the whistler's Tuneful song Creator's brush On canvas white. A thousand words With ink I write.. So treat me well And you will find To planet home I will be kind.. Reflect and twinkle In your eyes. Rescuing souls As I baptise.. A miracle of nature Me.
