water flowing
in mountains streams creeks rivers
water trickling
racing to fill ponds lakes oceans
water mist breath allowing
myriad life possibilities
water small droplets sowing
web of life potential diverse forms
without water there would
be no magnificient
earth life lusting swarms
vast planet wide oceans
filling teeming brimming
with species complexities
water vast percentages
of amazing cells
that strata comprise
all living organisms
water sustaining
growth creating
spun life webs
unique ecosystems
food all food
fresh has reserves
of water bound
within water is
our life liquid
requirement most
sustaining nurturing thing
have you not heard
that humans
can go without
food longer
than without
prime life requirement
fresh clean sweet
running water
news flash without
water all life would die
realize without
water we could
not even cry
water an important
part of vibrant
healthy cells
water cool sweet
waits flavours
community wells
water circulates
in myriad plants
to carry distribute
nutrients
water circulates
in people to oxygenate
blood energies
water needed by dependent
earth life cycles
to survive
water
without elixir of life
water earth
will not be alive

THE TRUTH IS SCREAMING WITHIN YOUR PIECE. WATER IS LIFE. And the greatest ARTIST OF EVERYTHING AND EVERY STEWARD IS THE OMNIPOTENT ONE Thanks for sharing this significant piece.
I bask in all of this as I'm a water baby and begin and end my day with much water. As soon as my eyes open I consume a large glass of lemon water, then I make that trip down the hall and fill my tub almost to the brim for my half hour soak in saltz and baking soda. After I dress I have my cup of tea and water all through the day. Yes we would all die without it and for sure I love the luxury of it as well. Loving your poem Terence.....
