The ubiquity of the molecule is the ubiquity of life,
it is everywhere, in everyone of us flowing through
life, flowing through the Earth and the atmosphere,
being scarce when it’s needed the most, being overly
abundant when we cannot have any more of it,
elusive if it chooses to be but yet ever present.

Water kills and brings life and it tells its story
if we should only listen. It tells of when it was so very
young at the very start of everything, through
the life eruptions, the middle turbulent times,
on to the present and into the future, for it is
constant, and transformative, and indestructible …

and it is us.
