Water

Sliding

            Gliding,

                        Slithering down

                                                Smooth rock inclines

Smooth

            Gentle

                        Shimmering

                                                Moon lit Lakes

Drips,

            Drops,

                        Snowing

                                    Ice crystals, hailstones

Falling from above

Ice bergs,

            Crunching

                        Crashing

                                    Smashing

                                                Rising from below

Gentle ripples

            Among the reeds

                        Lapping, slapping

                                    Swaying, cradling

                                                Baby Moses

Waves

            Floating

                        Tumbling,

                                    Rumbling

                                                Onto shore

Water the matrix of life

Sustaining, supporting

            Teeming with nourishment

                        Billions and trillions

                                    Expressions of spirit

While our waterless friends

            Rocks, deserts, sand dunes, & mountains

                        Sustain eons of wisdom.
