Water rushing
River's roar
Placid lake
Violent storms
Immense power
Sculpting stone
Carving landscapes
Since time unknown
Element essential
To all of life
If we do not protect it
We will create strife
Taken for granted,
Polluted and used
Forgetting to honor
This gift, we abuse
The nourishing streams
Of Gaia's great flow:
Quenching thirst
Growing life
This in love she bestows.
We must remember with thanks
What allows us to be,
Then protect our wild waters:
Running strong
Running free!

Thank you and I love your poem neil, very good cadence and rhyme.
I actually wrote this for an event that took place last night that was about artists responding to 'water'. I recited this poem by memory (the first time I have ever done that in public), and then did a dance improv, and I was told that I actually 'became' water through my movements, so yes, a lot of flow to share. :)
