How do I describe water
the essential element of life
Without it
we grow faint and suffer
I love it in a glass or a bubbly bath
slipping under or running through
my hair on purpose
thirsty skin and shafts waiting for
the lather
in my hand
I love it
gently splashing
over my toes sinking in the sand
I love it
on a window
in a storm reflecting
flashes of
light across the sky
I love it slow and gentle
running in rivelets
down the windowpane
or in a hard downpour leaving
muddy stain
it’s messy
but we will clean it
after the rain
Water
I loved how it trickled down
my legs that day
announcing joy was on its way
We cleaned it up after the pain
there it was
that essential
to life element again
words
can be messy
like rain
when inspiration comes
I’ll clean them up later after the pain
Very beautifully done, the flow of water in simple and extraordinary moments of life…

And then,
‘That day announcing joy was on its way’

Amazing!
