The Water

The water is warm.

The water is cool.

The water is clear in a pool.

The water is nice and shiny sheen,

And sometimes not very clean.

The water is mystical beauty, grace, and joy.

The water is magical to employ.

The water is sometimes very fierce

Or very calm, like a palm.

Listen, look, sense.

Feel magic from the water.
