Water First Glance Simple: Grows In Complexities Poem by Terence George Craddock

water at a glance
so simple a constant
unchanging image

but water hides complexities
beneath shifting surface
beneath changing surface

water has many faces
water has many moods
water has depths of patience

water has transitions
water has mood swings
water is quiet serene

water motionless
water trickles
water flows

water shrugs
water shakes shoulders
water shifts

water walks
water runs
water leaps

water legs it springs
water swims swirls dives
water manifests underwater currents

water rapid rises
water tempest floods
water rage destroys

who in an instant can see know comprehend
myriad shape transitions phases pulses transcending...

metaphysical intrigue chasing shape shifting
mysteries displayed locked into elusive ways of water...
