Water

Water give us life

It flows in our bodies

It flows through our veins

It flows through everything

It's miraculous

When you really start to think about it

It's able to support life

Life wouldn't have been able to propagate

Or to flourish

Or to thrive on our planet

If we didn't have this miraculous compound

It gives life to the creatures of the sea

So that they may swim

And exist 

Caressed in it's life giving embrace

Everything on Earth depends on water

Everything needs water to survive

It lives in the trees, 

It lives in the sky

It lives in the oceans

It lives in the land

Through rivers

Through streams

Through rain 

The water flows

Filling the Earth with it's life giving power

And yet we still don't truly understand 

Just how miraculous water really is

If we truly understood

We would protect our water

And revere the life that the water sustains

But instead we dump our trash in the oceans

We dump our pollutants on the land and in the rivers

And we make the water

And the oceans

And the seas so toxic

That barely anything else can survive in it

We need to begin to respect the miracle that is water

And the life that it sustains

If we are to survive

Because if we disregard the water around us

We are also disregarding ourselves

Water, the most important treasure.

[Ahmad Cox]

Yep. It is a truly miraculous thing.

I like how you concluded this poem with those last two lines. Very nice write, and very meaningful and so true. I wish "Water" was better taken care of, nice simple title.

[Frieda P]

I love it, certainly can't do without it in life, you said it beautifully...just stay away from me or you'll douse my fire! I'm a Leo... ;-)

Running Coss Country helped me develop a whole new appreciation for water. great write.

[Ahmad Cox]

Thank you. I used to run Cross Country in high school and I still walk and jog now but I know exactly what you mean.

[Annabelle Lee]

haha youd be one of the first.

[Ahmad Cox]

Is there no one else you know from the WC site that used to do Cross Country too?

Composition of man is mostly all water, the world cannot live without it. It is part of the existence of all that is alive. We must value it and respect the value of the purity of it!
We must respect the many valuable resources we have. There are those who never have clean water to drink, nor enough of it!

[Ahmad Cox]

Unfortunately this is the case.

[MandaBear]

Excellent Ahmad.

[Ahmad Cox]

Thank you. I wanted to give honor to the different elements that we take for granted. I have a strong connection to our mother earth and the healing earth energies but I think its the earth fairy in me.

[Neva Flores Smith - Cha..]

Yes, that which gives us life and the one thing we cannot do without. Excellent Ahmad.

[Ahmad Cox]

Water is every where and all around us.

[Kajal Gulabani]

Nice.. A thorough revision on 'health and hygiene' though.. A vital issue around the globe.. :)

[Ahmad Cox]

Very true. :)

[Gray Witch]

We wrote and my husband's band performed for raising awareness of this issue back in the 1980's long before you were all born ... I will post the song: "Don't Drink The Water"...for you soon.... Made for Operation Clean, Niagara-on-the-Lake and Lois Gibbs from the Love Canal in Niagara Falls, NY

[Ahmad Cox]

Nice. I would love to see the lyrics for it.

[Felicity's Eve]

Very well said, the last two lines. :)

I'm a Scorpio so water is actually my element. And I've always loved water! :D

Amazing write!

[Ahmad Cox]

Thank you. Water needs to be respected.

[Felicity's Eve]

Indeed it does :)
