I am water

I am water.  a giver of life.  raging and powerful as a storm-filled ocean.  home of the deep...where sharks linger ever moving.

I am water.  calm and gentle on a cheek in a midsummer drizzle.

I am water.  patient and quiet, jostling through tree-filled forests, navigating what comes my way.  

I am water.  persistent.  carving valleys.  forming canyons.

I am water.  a drip.  annoying to some, pinging off the metal of a pan left in the sink.

I am water.  stagnate and I turn gross.  boil me and I'll be gone, transforming into the wind.

I am water.  complex and vibrant, transparent and mysterious, a clear substance required for life.
