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 stillness I am your tranquil 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.  
                                        Surrender in me
                                        I am water!
                                        always in constant motion
                                        of renew, rebirth and grow.

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.

For me the line "I am the matrix of life" great line by the way, sort of signals a mid point of your poem. The first part sets out that we would not exist without water. The second part is very poetic and deals with water metaphorically and in reality. I love the lines "in turbulence" and "in stillness." But "in sadness I stream down your face" is the line for me. 
P.S. I read this poem after the one about sunshine.

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
