Water

 Water.

I have danced within the clouds above,

torn the sunlight into rainbow shards,

dropped to earth to wash the dusty ground.

run across the land in joyous speed.

I have been a part of oceans deep,

foamed and frothed on waves of stormy seas,

forced down deep into the earth below

bursting forth again in a sweet spring.

I have been a part of so much life,

surging through your veins at restless beat,

running in the rising sap of trees,

then exhaled to rise up high again.

I can break cement and shatter walls

wear away both concrete and hard stone

ooze in tiny spaces, there to freeze

and expand,  destroying  with cold spite.

I am part of the great dance of life,

endless circle swirling through the days,

none can live unless I’m part of them,

I can cleanse or kill with equal speed.
