Water and Words

 

Water and words

can wear

and break things

down.

They conversely

can give life

and fortify

another round,

 perhaps a win.

They can make,

the hardest hearts

and walls cave in,

or make the will of stone

wear down

persistently and slowly.

Water and words

whether taking many shapes

or meanings ,

whether clear or frozen,

whether cleansing or polluting,

make the stuff

of victory and love,

of hate or sin ,

of life or dissolution .
