Water - Intoxication

She is warm and enticing

She caresses with softness

Her taste—intoxicating

Her life force flows through your veins

She rocks and soothes you

Washing your cares away

Wondrously life-giving—

yet icy, cold and foreboding

She can change in an instant

Filling you with fear and awe

She lures you into her depths

Where you are lost within her

Her cold seeps into you

Numbing you into submission

The fight is over—

you struggle no more

She is indiscriminate

in who she devours

She is life—yet takes life

She will always prevail

She is water—

and deserves our respect
