 water, it drips, it drops, it becomes droplets,drops fall, raindrops fall, snow drops in flakes, cold water freezes in drips that become icicles, water beads like glistening gems, water beats a path, carving rock, pushing and carrying dirt, creating streams and rivers and falls, water grows life, gives life and is essential to all life










Elements – Water

Water an elemental
Water a fundamental
Building block of life
Water of Life
Water of Death

Water in all religions
Water in all living things
Water in all countries
Water also used for barter

No life without water
No rife with water
No respect for water
Willful neglect of water

Water, for cooking
Water, for cleaning
Water, for drinking
Water, for living
Water, for dying

Water is the same
In all languages
Water is the same
To all living beings












Water

Ralph Waldo Emerson 
 
The water understands
Civilization well;
It wets my foot, but prettily,
It chills my life, but wittily,
It is not disconcerted,
It is not broken-hearted:
Well used, it decketh joy,
Adorneth, doubleth joy:
Ill used, it will destroy,
In perfect time and measure
With a face of golden pleasure
Elegantly destroy.















Water


Water gushed over parched land
fractures are slowly filled left by drought 

terrain humidified by cold water 
pouring down replacing warmth
everything ice-covered

Water 
set in ice form
fluffy and breathtaking 
an impish sting to its beauty
arctic

my clothes are drenched 
twirl around with outstretched arms
tears are forgotten
