THREE  CHOICES

 

You have 3 choices:

rock, water, or wood?

 

I choose water:

the journey is much more interesting.

 

Especially in the form of rain or river

but hugging an ocean liner isn’t too bad.

 

Or water in an oasis – waiting –

just waiting to refresh a thirsty traveler.

 

But as an ice cube at a party

is a chance to listen, really listen.

 

A glacier – now that could mean

a waiting, waiting, waiting for a thousand years.

 

And laugh – and God laughed and spoke:

“I did well and interesting  with H2O, didn’t I?”
