Sparkle

Sparkling sparkling water

Sunlight dancing in liquid form

Shimmering quivering light

Reflecting joy and the ecstasy of being

Glittering, gleaming, glistening 

Brilliant flashes of twinkling iridescence

Mischievous sparks of illumination

Heaven is winking

Water is Life

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!
