If I am water
My concern is not, about you
My concern is not, about me
I have no apprehensions or fears, I just exist

If I am water…
Do I need you to acknowledge my existence?
Do I need to understand why I am here?

If I am water…
Does the value you place on me,
affect me or you?

If I am water…
Do I contemplate my place in the universe?
or do I just exist?
And because I exist
Do I not nurture life?

If I am water…
Is it me
that needs YOUR appreciation and understanding?

If I am water…
If you never acknowledge me…
will I cease to exist
Even in the acid rain, I exist and

If I am water…
I am not the form or the action
I am not your projection…
I am not destruction or tranquility

IF I AM WATER

I am not the flood
I am not the drought
I am not ice or vapor
When I am more or I am less I am still just water
If I am motionless or I am fierce I am still just water

I AM I CANNOT BE DESTROYED
If I am not in the ocean
I am in the air

I AM WATER I WILL ALWAYS BE SOMEWHERE
