Water Is Life

water is part of my very existence it is within me and all around me in different configurations in the rainwater that drips and flows upon my windows drizzle in the night and my tears that fall forming teardrops in puddles after a summer storm the dew on my flowers of morning dripping in the sun in different drinking glasses, my bathtub, my saliva, an ice cube melting growing smaller a spill, a spatter, a sprinkle, a dribble the lakes, rivers, streams, oceans and seas pools and fountains and waterfalls, fish tanks and fish ponds the great northern glaciers shifting and moaning melting and flooding the ocean changing the world's architecture a drop in the ocean spreading and spreading waves crashing on a shore endlessly and foam gathering, misty snow falling in intricate snowflake patterns the contour of ice icicles frost freezing on my windows in filigree shapes a snowman melting in spring ___________________ June 15, 2021 Poetry/Free Verse/water is life Copyright Protected, ID 06-1363-599-15 All Rights Reserved, 2021, Constance La France
