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
