Gavin Ewart Poetry Competion 2013

Water

Water is infinite,
Water is freedom,
Water is pure.

When you look at water you see the trickle of prosperity,
You see the peace against chaos,
And you see the glimmering gargle of flowing playfulness.

When you hear the splashes of water  you think of a smooth and silky texture,
You think of the fundamental compound of Mother Nature,
And you think of a refreshing water fall.

When you touch water you can feel the sadness and happiness that runs through it,
You feel the sinewy flow of the rivers, seas and oceans,
And you can feel the shiny freedom that every living atom craves.
