Water

"Water" That which is forgiving And so much a part of living, Meanders through all life With little twists and turns, Never seeking more, Void of desire, yearns. Softly flowing, Seeping everywhere, With a lack of purpose, Yet, with purpose beyond compare. Caressing all it touches, Gently meek and mild, But a force to reckon with, Should it so be riled. A cradle of life In every new beginning. A keeper of all life Swirling, still, or spinning. Without its presence Life could never be. Nothing would exist, The sky, the earth, the sea. The matter that does matter To each and all of us, Would be lost, pointless, Just drifting, useless dust. W a t e r ... sustaining... ... life.

Great rhyme Artsie, the essence of all life, yet many struggle in drought hit countries, we seem to take so much for granted. Tom.a
