Water has structure,
water has art,
ripples bright
and floods dark.
Water sweeps you up
or drags you down,
flowing rhythmically
making sounds.
Swirling and bubbling –
its changes profound.
First a trickle, then rivers
run to patient oceans,
dissolving my emotions,
In salty tears of regret.
Water remembers
and water forgets.
