Water

1
Splash, dash
elan, flash
born of water
not of wine

2
flowing, glowing,
rippling, growing
swelling in spring
it sings

3
living, breathing,
teeming, seething
through mountains,
valleys, hills

4
trickling, sprinkling,
rippling, spilling
over land and
seas of green

5
washing, cleansing,
sparkling, dowsing,
errors and cares
that life can bring

6
dancing, prancing,
falling, rising
all comprising
as living being

7
water’s life
without it, naught,
it’s gleam is bright
it’s lack is wrought

8
praise for water
raise its song
its dance is living
its power’s strong

Whether on the shoal or on the shore,
I'll seek the lighthouse evermore.

I am a water lover and therefore I absolutely love this poem and the way it sang with the sounds of water. Very well done.   **hugs**

Love I leave with you whether it is in your life now or yet the essense of your dreams.
