Water

I can be as subtle and cleansing as a drop on a leaf. Sliding gently,unharming and doscile.
I can be abundant and generous like a well needed rainfall.
I can be placed at the bottom and I know how to make my way up. I can defy gravity.
I can make myself essential to others lives while still maintaning my independance.

I know how to find my way to the deeper ends, to where my dreams lie.
I know how to handle resistance. I'll try negotiating but my instinct is to keep going.
I know how to gently move the largest boulders, inch by inch. Not dramatic, but strategic.

I have enough force to move things that fall along my path.
I'll make them flow with me, I'll make my destination their destination.
I have enough will to start as a drop and end as an ocean.
If I'm met with sustained resistance, I'll dissolve my obstacle but I can not and will not stagnate.
For stagnation is death and death I resist.

I absorb what is thrown at me and in me. Without a ripple, I internalize it. It adds to my force, it adds to my substance.
I only know how to move forward, I do not look back for the ocean is ahead and not behind.
I can be warm when I feel that is what is required.
I can be cold when my surroundings compel me.

I can be whatever is required of me.
I will keep flowing till I reach my destination.
For a drop to reach the ocean, the journey is long and so I must flow.
I can create and I can destruct to get to where I want.

I am water.
I am Water....
