A drop to raise my hopes
A glass to save my life
A pond to clean my body
A lake to fill the void
A drop, become a stream,
become a river, become an ocean
Rise and fall and freeze and melt
Flow none to deprive
Flow lightly to create
Flow heavily to destroy
Such is your nature
One that needs a balance

I don't normally do much poetry, but here it is. I posted this in a few other places as well, no I didn't steal it. It's not even worth stealing. This is the result of boredom.
