I Am The Water

A Poem for the Water

I am the water…

The artery of life

The vain of survival

The fingerprint of humanity

The footprint of creation.

Without me…

Essences are non-occurrence

Panoramas are colorless

Sceneries are worthless

Images are emptiness.

I am the aqua…

The blue that paints your world

The green that molds your soil

The white that sketches your horizon

The turquoise that illustrates your terrain.

I am the aqua…

The uniform which attires you

The bloom that shelters you

The tumbler which sates you

The canvas that shades you

The liquid which compose you.

I am the water…

Preserve me and you will not die

Conserve me and you will survive

Sustain me in order to remain

Protect me in order to arise

Respect me and you can endure

Defend me and you can persist.

I am the water…

The precious substance of natures

The priceless jewel of beings

The singular solitaire of existence

The matchless constancy of livings

The peerless solidity of souls

The unrivaled validity of selves

The solo continuity of humans.

I am your aqua…

The water of your identity

The address of your sphere

The reality of your realm

I am you and you are me.
