Flows of Water

From peak to plain, it glides, Silver vein through earth's embrace. Gentle twist, relentless tide Life's quiet, endless grace. The persistence of the water The pressure the water holds The fight the water fights The warmth of the water It carves the canyons, soft as breath, Twists through forests, cool and deep; In rain's soft kiss or torrent's wrath, Life's quiet pulse, its secrets keep. Ever yielding, ever strong, Shaping worlds in endless play From droplet's birth to river's song, Water flows, and time gives way..
