Life is water

The water flows and feeds,
Stagnates and drowns. 
It pools in poor places
And rises up and is cleansed and rains
Back down on bare earth
And makes it grow.
It floods out dreams and washes them
Anew. It births new life
And carries the dead down and away.
It is wasted
And cherished and cursed and wished for,
It is weak and strong, it freezes and scalds,
It is all things. 
Life is water, water is life.
May you ebb and flow with it. May you carry on.
