Water, a poem by Sahana Sunilkumar

 You flow, you show no resistance and

you go where you want to.

You are dilapidated and

you do show off your stunning glow!

You are cool, calm, self-contained and self-sufficient

Yet you are incredibly fierce and forceful!

You are soft and flexible yet so powerful!

You are a moving, living part of the earth itself!

Every ounce of magic is contained within you,

you are the impelling force of all nature!

Your calm rivers start off as tempestuous waterfalls.

You go from a trickling stream, to a violent flood,

from sparkling ice to gentle rain.

You form a puddle, to the open sea!

Your still disposition reflects

the beauty of the sunset

that lights up every witnessing eye!


Your blue lagoons and frothy waves,

your misty breath and tranquil dreams!

You are the essence of life.

It’s strange how you are

so familiar yet so hard to describe!


You are pure enough to clean, powerful enough to drown


You are sweet and scary!


Your multifaceted life amalgamates everyone.

You are enigmatic and anonymous.

You are something inimitable

You are WATER!
