Like Water Poem by Jim Yerman

The entire Earth is mostly water…
Have you ever wondered why?
Every human…also mostly water…
What is nature trying to imply?

Could it be there's magic in the water…in its look, its taste, its sound….
and all we have to do to see it…is take a look around.

Water is enchanted it can be loud or barely make a peep
It is both soft and flexible but can create a canyon…deep.

Water has a beauty that is easily explained
Like how it rises misty on a lake…or falls softly as a quiet mountain rain.

Like how it can be so serene…as it reflects the sky of blue…
or when it clings to trees and shrubs as a drop of morning dew.

Like how it changes with the weather…as the winds of winter blow
How it transforms from a liquid to a solid…into ice…and snow.

We swim in water, we bathe in water…and I‘d be remiss not to include
how we can't live without it…for it nourishes our food.

The sight of water can bring us joy…can make us dream…or sigh
and when we're feeling sad or blue…it shows us how to cry.

Each drop of water is an individual…as to Earth they do descend
but when they mix with other drops…how easily they blend…

They harmonize so beautifully…you can't tell them apart
They form one magnificent body of water…with but one soul…one heart…

Could it be that nature is trying to show us…with each drop of rain or morning dew
That, if there's magic in the water, …there's magic in us too?

And once we find our magic…once we let it's beauty radiate through
Then, just like the water that makes us up,
there is nothing we can't do.
