I AM WATER

I AM WATER

                                                                                         
                                        I am water, and my story is told in liquid form.
                                        I’ll give, and I’ll take, that’s who I am,
                                         --Earth’s primordial flow.
                                        But I am always with you, inside you and within you
                                        as you would not exist without me,
                                        I am the matrix of life!
                                        In turbulence I am the emotions of your thoughts
                                        In fury I am your temper
                                        In stillness I am your tranquility and your calm
                                        In sadness I stream down your face
                                        until I reach your anguished heart,
                                        But in joy I flow to your lips enticing a smile so bright.  
                                        I am always in constant motion
                                        of renew, rebirth, and grow.
                                        I am water!
                                        Surrender in me.          

                

                                           —Bernadete vdw, ‘24

Oh, maybe this water is trying to tell you something. 
—When the rain washes away your pain, embrace it!
I’ll write a little poem with these words and not going to say, but you know it’s for you.

Jee, Bernie, how can you be so good in analysing writings? It’s almost like you enter our minds and have a little read in there. Quite scary! 😁 But I think it’s your love for poetry that makes you understand it so well. And your teacher’s mind helps a lot. Well, thank you for taking the time to read this. 🙏

Yes, the most precious thing. We are water. Thanks a lot, Being Me, I
really appreciate (even if I don't say it sometimes), but I really do and love
when you share your thoughts. By sharing it we improve our writings and
have fun. It has to be fun, hasn't it?! Hugs, B
