The Waterway

I am in the water

Just one drop

Yet a vital piece

of the world’s oceans

And when it’s my time

To return 

I will move with the wave

Back into the blue

To become the rain

The snow

The place

where ancient whales roam

And microscopic life feeds

All the creatures great and small

I will move back through the people

I love as cold relief on a hot day

And when I emerge

From that tight place behind your eye

As a tear

I will see what you see

And I will feel

The soul embrace you give

That sets me free 

To caress your face

Once again
