Water

People across the world have tears flowing from their eyes

Each tiny droplet lands creating puddles as they fall

Each puddle builds into streams

Constantly growing as it moves and flows

Into the rivers and across the seas they go

 

This is the life force that we need in order to survive

This colourless, odourless liquid that is clear to the naked eye

 

The mysterious fluid which separates lands

And holds the people to ransom within its hands

The course of its fluidity, so gentle and yet

So extreme, can be our saviour and then

In an instant be our destruction

 

This is the life force that we need in order to survive

This colourless, odourless liquid that is clear to the naked eye

 

Each river and ocean that holds life within its depth

Each tidal wave that sculptures the earths surfaces to dramatic effects

 

This is the life force that we need in order to survive

This colourless, odourless liquid that is clear to the naked eye

 

Water…
