Water alone



From the tiny droplet
To the raging sea
Full of salt
Riversides to be
Blessed valleys
Springs made wildly
On mountainsides, so far
From our eyes to see
Living only as rain
Fountains heavenly
Bubbling lakes
The rain to be
Natural tides
Running through trees
Rippling in lagoons
Sludged and swampy
Fruit of the sky
In deserts scarcely
Frozen into ice
Shining brightly
Shimmering on clouds
Naturally
Wet on the rocks
Dew on a lilly
Dampening the earth
Water alone
Water free
Watery kisses
Forever stay with me
