Water: Inspiration Weekly

Posted on November 27, 2011November 27, 2011 by BritMumInNZ

Oh little drop of water, what times you have seen!

Floating in clouds & running in streams –
hanging in ice & sparkling in sun-beams.

From when time began & the age of the dinosaur,
to this sparkling rock pool of blues and greens.

I’ve seen you in the morning dew & in the rain –
felt you in a summer shower & winter’s cold refrain.

I’ve felt you course through my body & on my skin.
Shared your life-giving essence with my very kin.

by Sarah Lee, 2011
