Never still, always moving
uphill, downhill with pebbles floating
sometimes i will quench a thirst
and sometimes i will allow you to submerse
your fears, your anguish as you dip in the coolness I provide
whether its a bright sun, or a rainy day, I allow you to stride
over a bridge, across the gentle stream, you can use a boat or a yacht and dream
I will be your mirror reflecting nature around you as sun sets
through the sounds of crushing waves or the flow of gentle stream you bet
I will be water, as I think I take any shape or size as things change around me
I am flexible enough to allow you space, and become a wave to wash you away
I will be water
