Drops, Rivers and Oceans

From the tan and golden dunes
to spiking reefs of green,
and shimmering gleam
Where earth meets water there’s glee
Testified by lighthouses echoing your tunes

Always flowing and all knowing you are not a
subject of time.
You reside in all of us, but no one call you mine.
Evolutions will come and go but you remain
fearless
You’ve had your place since the separation of
light to darkness.

From the lack in a drought
To the destructive over-abundance of a flood
With both,
leaving earth’s inhabitants in a brood

demanding respect in your in presence
like blood

Your greed leaves me in gutter and bother
But remember this
‘thousands have lived without love,
but not without water’
