The Essence of All Life

 

Gazing upon a crystal lake

 

Shimmering light of reflections

 

Painting a picture of me, inside

 

Shadowing my, imperfections

 

 

 

 

 

Skimming a pebble across its face

 

Bouncing along, ripples create

 

Finally, sinking beneath the surface

 

Bubbles arise, as its weight subsides

 

 

 

 

 

Captivating beauty to one’s eyes

 

Early in the morning, a mist arise

 

Floating seamlessly above the lake

 

Breathing in the coolness of the air

 

 

 

 

 

Moisture felt on your face and hands

 

Soaked up, by tiny pours in your glands

 

Vapour condensed on the leafs of trees

 

Dew drops falling replenishing the land

 

 

 

 

 

Floating on top in a boat, romantically

 

Aware of the splashes to the side

 

Rowing silently through without care

 

The under current, strong as the tide

 

 

 

 

 

Evaporating back into the atmosphere

 

Continuously watering our earth

 

Transporting minerals every where

 

The hydrological cycle, we surf

 

 

 

 

 

Hydrogen is a very combustible gas

 

This liquid we all need, alas

 

One molecule containing three atoms

 

Two hydrogen, one oxygen, amass

 

 

 

Marvellously, creating our weather

 

Chemically bonded together

 

With nuclei and electrons

 

And crytallize, perfections

 

 

 

Drink plenty of water, we must

 

Be like fluid, not rust 

 

The ripples begun, black ice round the sun

 

So go with the flow, the water is fun

 

And this is our H20
