liquid tale

I am the river
turbulent and ebullient
crashing against rocks
breaking some, eroding some

I am the lake
calm and patient outwards
teeming with life within
a mirror to the moon

I am the rains
quenching the parched earth
harbinger of hope
symbol of the cycle of life

I am the sea
endless eternity
a challenge to the daring
serenity and death

I am water
shapeless, amorphous
make me what you will
i’ll make you in the end

I am life.
