Every Teardrop Tells A Story Poem by Mark Heathcote

"All life needs it" as far as I know.
Present above and below the seafloor?
Yes, water soaks into every pore
It even survives where cacti grow.

We can all discern its strange mystique
Each crystalline form holds its own, reverie
Water is said to contain memory,
Guess that's why all snowflakes are unique.

Every teardrop tells a story.
That part where it comes from and where it's at
Is it any wonder? From an ungodly-
World I should want a return to just that.
