The Elixir Of Life Poem by Arti Chopra

Water
In its many forms
Cold
Like ice
Frozen in
Needles of discontent



Warm
Furious
Angry
in steam
Boiling

Thunderous
And awe inspiring
In a waterfall
Subdued and now
I

Musical
In a brook
Tinkling
Splashing
Gurgling
So entrancing

Calm and placid
Like a green ponds surface in a
Vast stretch of land
Reflecting a peaceful sun

Fairylike
Dreamy in perfect white
Snowflakes
As they drift
gently
Silently

To settle
and soothe
The living

Over years of anxiety
Water
The elixir
Of life
Placates
And quenches
Every thirst
Every whim
