Life is water <br />Slipping through your fingers <br /> <br />No way to hold or preserve <br />Drink what you can <br /> <br />While you can <br />Every drop-more precious <br /> <br />A thirst that cannot be <br />Quenched. <br /> <br /> <br />(Previously published in Poetry Shelter, Apr.2003)<br /><br />Laurence Overmire<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/desert-song/
