No shape to fill
no form to tell
Colour and taste scale
from none to any possible
Making up two thirds
of me and the planet
Filling up all
from nameless rivulets
to forgotten puddles
From rivers at tumult
to roaring oceans
Placid ponds
to lakes silent
From choked up voices
to parched tongues
and eyes that fell
short of words
As much at home
in a cloud nebulous
As inside of a stubborn iceberg
calving off a glacier
Transcending three forms
of the physical
You haven't aged a day
from tomorrow through today
and the beginning
of anything worth
turning the rock of a planet
into life-giving Earth
A mystery unwrapped,
an enigma layered
Eternity embodied
unto itself
Who are you?
hiding behind
the disarming simplicity
of two hydrogen and one oxygen
tied together
