Analysis of WATER
Ernestine Mims 1960 (California)
Water is a clear liquid, which contains minerals in this fluid.
I’m transparent without a lid.
Leaving questions unanswered and unknown and Open for bid. I also provide protection and coverage for the squid.
My substance (forms) various attitudes and changes, such as hot/warm & cold.
I’m vicious hard, strong and bold.
No one actually knows how old.
I continue to flow, move and fold.
My waves stand tall, roaring and pulsating, creating a dome, and carving a home as I roam.
The cold (chilly) mist, that hurdles over me, steadily lie ablist.
Sometimes a certain (breeze) can cause me to (freeze) and take on a new twist.
I create streams, rivers, swamps, lakes, marshes, tsunami’s and oceans too.
Often my color is Blue.
Lots of Sea creatures scatter through me as Big fish get rid of Little fish, that swim from North to South. In hopes “NOT” to fall prey in the “WRONG” predator’s mouth. I have many deeds such as, helping GREEN-LIFE-GROW.
I wash away debris and germs (High) and (Low).
I allow Big ships and boats to float as they blow.
I see people along the edge as they wave and the birds glide down fast/or slow.
I still run deep and quiet—-the peace I bring- You can’t buy it !
Water is good for the body—In/and out- that is without a doubt.
Water holds a lot of clout.
