The Discovery of Life and Water

Forgive me, water of naturewater of my lifeMaybe it’s because we’re busy with mundane livingor because our memory of rivers dried up long agoForgive me, Water! I forgot about you ages agoin the interweaving of dreams and realityMy hollow ideas are like a bottomless wellI’ve waited so long in the dark abyssWater! Water! I want to thank youfor your beckoning that has miraculously reawakened my lifeIt’s because of you that people have writtenhistories and civilizations transcending time and spaceIt’s because of you that our blue planetcan humbly bestow the psalm of life and wateronto thousands and thousands of livesLet us revere a drop of water the same way we revere lifebecause for people, or for all lives,it may be one drop of water that will predict the future of the world
