An Aspect Of Water Poem by Denis Martindale

An aspect of water
Is that it owns all, yet possesses nothing,
That it is service-bent, yet never spent...
It is the revered ancestor of all living things...
It steams upward, with its heat held glorified,
As a newborn streaming stretching body of the sky...
To draw down from heaven... both beauty and grace...

Shower-made, it falls fast and thin
Upon the oldest survivor, Earth...
All ears, listen through the ear
To each drop's eternal music,
Whose separate consciousness
Dances to the rhythms of the waves...
