Water Brings Life, Water Takes Life

Such a long time has passed again, but here I am, drawing inspiration from my dear friends at Poetic Bloomings web site. The prompt is interesting for me right now, particularly because so many places near my country recently suffered extreme weather. Of course, water is part of life and a source of life, indispensable to us all. Still, it can go to horrifying ends.

WATER
Makes up our cells
Gives life a running cause
Brings joy to lonely fields
And so much more…

Until it floods all places
And we run in horror,
Screaming, grabbing things
We think we need
Forgetting what and where and who
We are…

Ironic that the sad dessert
Will not hear of the floods
That drown our homes
Off their cozy safety.
