Water Water waits for no one and few wait more than it. The ultimate in patience untaming in a fit. Sculptor of millennia, a trickle carves a cave. Seconds suffer no one, in paths of tidal wave. Flexible, beyond compare; like rock when hit at speed; deathly take your breath away; yet sate a planet's need. Icy rocks, adrift in space; pools of deep blue sea; vapour-mist in nebulae; flesh in you and me. Trident of the elements: power; double life. Together in eternal dance, Daughter, father, wife. © Sean G. O’Leary 2021
