I am the contrails in the sky <br />Transporting your love to my heart-felt joy <br /> <br />I am those rolling white riffles splashing <br />Across those ancient glistening granite rocks <br /> <br />I am the warm tingling steaming massage <br />Sensate-ly refreshing your tired soul <br /> <br />I am that energizing frozen cube <br />That cools that sweet tea you sip on our porch <br /> <br />I am the main ingredient carrying <br />Life-giving nutrients to your keen mind <br /> <br />I am the visible steam rising up <br />That prepares your scrumptious wild rice tonight <br /> <br />I am those fluffy white clouds high above <br />That sponge down the dust into the earth <br /> <br />I am that which keeps your Force Five afloat <br />So you can sail on to your newer dreams <br /> <br />I am your frozen-ed winter delight <br />Magical crystals spun during the night <br /> <br />I am that drink your ravenous soul desires <br />Sprinkled grace, His most dear promise-d gift <br /> <br />(Mountaintop Cottage, Tennessee <br />October 2,2006)<br /><br />Debora Short<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/water-steam-and-ice-couplets-2/
