Wondrous, Eternal, Water

Water is wondrously eternal Immutable in the end The water one sips Could have once passed the lips Of Jesus or Caligula my friend It's an essence that flows drips and drapes That takes many forms, many shapes It's fog ...It's cloud It's silent...It's loud It comprises our very own breath And without it no doubt looms naught but dust and death We take it as a given Think of it mostly As just hot or cold but it's what keeps us livin' And what keeps on giving us the gift (and privilege)of getting ...Old... And without it, twould be sorely missed
