The Liquid Universe
A trace of moisture, on the moon
Much more was had, in their monsoon
Water, water, nearly everywhere
There's even water in our hair
Rain down on us, to keep us moist
Draw from well, with rope and hoist
A cool quenched sip, from ladle to lip
Down my neck, dripped to my hip
Deadly water, in flood plain form
Up to my neck, but not the norm
The muddy hue, of scavenged soil
Flows destruction, for us to toil
Water falls, cascades and all
Spill moistly in a splashing thrall
A misty rainbow glistens delight
Upon reflections of, Nature's light
Frozen in suspense, water has rest
Giving pause to its flow, halt to its crest
Relax mighty moist one, have your peace
Enjoy your stillness, a moment to cease

Poetry: Water
May life flow from water into eternity
Molding and shaping, making seas
Holding, creating new you’s and me’s
God's water in a dry land
As the sun set across the land. It reached down to kiss the sand.
There was no water
by Erin Yorke
Cleanser, life-giver
Mud-maker, destroyer
Saviour or Slayer
Placental Ocean,
For what is our birth?
Can't live without it,
Can't
by Jerry Curtis
I am the giver of life, bringer of death, the ingredient of primordial soup
From whence the first tadpole emerged
Half in
Water
Memories are like water
Elusive, crystal clear, and bitterly
Dark at times.
Some are delicate and,
Often slip through
