Water of Life
Everywhere it soaks and seeps collecting
more as it journeys to destination
starting life as a single water drop
this life giving fluid of such sweet nectar
Seeming coloured one moment clear the next
we give it such little thought as we pass
maybe we reflect stirred by a lake
for a few moments struck by its beauty
We moan when it is wet, even more when dry
cry when in rage it floods causing havoc
one drop by itself harmlessly benign
joined together such a powerful force
Water without whom there would be no life
each drop a sacred blessing from above
purifying and cleansing as it passes
on its eternal and endless journey
