water natures gift
the beginning of it all
thirst quenched for all time
This is a poetry,prose,Haiku and writing site
Edna St. Vincent Millay
1916
My candle burns at both ends;
It will not last the night;
But ah, my foes, and oh, my friends-
It gives a lovely light!

Water can be taken for granted, yet where would we be without this miraculous fluid? As your lovely haiku says - nowhere!
Thanks for the reminder,

Growing up in the desert,I learned to honor water fro life. What a wonderful haiku!
I like the ambiguity of this - both comforting and threatening.
Water so precious and yet can turn so ferocious in her onslaught...the image your words brought to me.
Thank you my friends, I have broken my shoulder and must type with one finger. I am in great pain and may need surgery
