Water is the one element;
out of the four:
air, fire, earth and water
that walks in the moccasins
of each of its siblings.
Water floats in the air,
a glittering rainbow
of powdered snow
drifting weightless
on air currents,
winking at the sun.
When torched by fire,
water steams mightily
driving monstrous locomotives
or cleansing human forms
in sightless, yet light-filled
sweat lodges and steam rooms.
Emulating its sister Earth,
water forms itself to the ground.
Huge glaciers bulldoze the earth.
Or water may cover the earths surface,
however uneven with smooth and shiny.
In its natural state
water flows to contour,
to whatever shape its given,
from riverbanks to ocean shores.
Always giving in graciously,
uniting and combining
into
ONENESS.
