I am Water

11/12/2019

I remember the rumble of the rocks and the quiver of the earth below. The same memory that took me into darkness; but it did not stop me from breathing. Hope in my heart moved me onward beneath the lifeless blanket. A continual hunt for an escape route. Always in search of new orifices to travel. The rocks are on the move, again. A pinhole of light encourages me to push, gushing upward. Released. Victorious! A breeze dances across my soul. Carefree and unchecked I tumble over rocks that once were my jailer. I am water. I am life.

You are right about the power, Nancy. From a trickling stream to a raging river, it can take you by surprise.

Someone once told me that water is the most powerful solvent on earth I believe that to be true but it is also so much more.
Love this piece.

I am happy you enjoyed this piece. Water definitely has power. People are drawn to water-its placid state, its mighty roar, and its intriguing gurgle.
