ROCK  OR  WATER?

Holding on to a rock - just one solid stone - 
is so much easier than grabbing a handful 
of water - which laughs as it slips out
of our hands and falls down into the sink -
into the drain - back into the water cycle - 
that goes around and around our  world.
Envy goes around and around our world
as well? Do rocks wish they were water.
Does water ever wish it were rock?


Me?  I would never want to be rigid rock?

I choose to be water: ocean, lake, river,
ice that cools a drink, warm water that
bathes a baby, snow,  steam, mist, dew,
frost, a waterfall breaking rocks below.... 
You? What are you: rock or water?
