The Miracle of Water

Before there was Earth
Before there was life
There was you
​
You are the basis of creation
You are that which we are
Without you, there would be no more life…
 
You have existed here for billions of years

Flowing through the air, through the earth, through the seas

Through each cell of our bodies, through plants and trees

You have touched our past and rain it upon our present

The miracle of existence evident in your presence

There is nowhere you have not been

In this physical world, a life unseen

Always changing, always expressing in endless ways

From the dark depths of the sea to an early summer’s haze

Frozen in time, with a crystalline form

Running free in a river, or in the cells of a worm

Eons spent in an ocean under the moon

Caressing turtles as they shelter in the lagoon

Entering in, flowing through, staying a while, creating the new

The ocean with its gentle waves

Or thundering industry on more blustery days

All of it you, in your many guises

Experiencing a life so full of surprises

You do not discern between bad and good

You give and take life in servitude

The moon moves you forward and back

Heat and cold changing you from excess to lack

The winds move you through the night

As vapor, or perhaps a cloud taking flight

You surely must delight in each form that you take

So many each day, with never a break

You dance freely through this life never ending

In awe I can sense my mind bending

In your very existence you are showing

There is no death, just more life unfolding

This is true of us all I have no doubt

We simply change form on the roundabout

So versatile, so necessary to all that we are

From whence you came, maybe a star

Or in the mind’s eye of just the one creator

It does not matter how you birthed

Just that you gave life to this Earth
