Notes About The Poem

"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:

Thirsty

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.
Reminding of 
The Trinity.
