Elemental

I am the water

freely flowing

bubbling along

soothing, refreshing

healing

life-giving

but what about when

going with the flow

is wrong?

My world is rocked

waves crash

back and forth

out of control

need to stop the waves

need to hold my ground

but my ground

is not there
to hold.

Water can be strong

Water can be like the ground

But only if it is very cold

frozen

I can be the ice
but being cold is painful too

and the world hates the ice

it chips away at it

tries to break it

melt it

Is this my choice?

Be swept along with the waves

or be the glacier of ice?

Maybe someday the storm will die down

maybe the waves will not crash as hard

and then I can just be the water

freely flowing

bubbling along
