Water,

you calm, cool creature,

collected in the Earth's

deepest features.

In you we are born,

cradled in peace,

defying gravity

in nature's fleece.

The perfect drink,

for life a must,

without this gift

we are but dust.

You bring me calm,

you sooth my mind,

from clear, blue lakes

to ocean's brine.

So clear, so sweet,

so take me home,

to the water's edge,

where my heart doth roam.
