This is just my latest form
though few will stop to wonder
what I am and where I’ve been
before my molecules disperse asunder
Yesterday a cloud, then snow
melting beneath the warming sun
forming with your breath and tears
My transforming journey never done
My essence part of clouds and oceans,
meandering woodland streams
shimmering in rainbows and sustaining life, timeless
outlasting ephemeral political regimes
