Percolation
CYCLE III: WATER
Percolation
Millennia with every form subscribed,
In single orb to moving mountains gauge.
From sea to bog to steam-filled jungles slide,
‘Til rock’s impact inox with galax phage.
Then solid waters dimmed the lifely sun,
And others’ pass made way for others’ reign,
With wooly fur both grown and taken from.
With ice’s withdrawal, came sapiens’ campaign,
And cities built on mighty rivers’ run.
And waters’ weaponry became a pall
From Persian times to seas off Jutland’s beach,
In waters owned, a place for castle wall
To drown advancers ‘fore their battles’ breach.
A grave for Vikings and lost sailor’s tombs,
But waters also healed their battles’ wounds.
