Water knows the secret of life and harbors subtle shades of pain
It hoards its power to disappear then re-materialize again
Water relishes its ability to grow and morph and mold and change
Bending, lending its regal majesty to earth’s diverse inhabited range
Ocean, river, lake, pond, stream
Water craftily becomes not what it seems
Power is water in the art of transformation
It is patient, pure, highly skilled in manipulation
Giving shape to the formless and repudiating strife
Immortal water above all is this elixir of life
Be it solid, gas, or liquid, water wells within time
Bringing life into planet yielding order by design
Water needs not the charity and piety that we give
Yet for us it sacrifices all and through its gift we do live
