I have found that
if I strive for something,
unless my will is ironforged
and I feel that fate is with me;
that things fall short.
The direct path is not mine.
Instead,
I have a the blessing
of approaching things
at an angle
and out of happenstance.
No frontal charge into the walls;
only fortified metaphorical death
awaits such folly
for me.
But a side-step
pincer movement,
accidental
turn of fortune,
now that,
that is for me.
As ever,
I cannot smash the mountain
or set ablaze and burn the forests
or scream and shout out the stars;
instead
I am drops upon the peaks
wearing down in time if I wished to,
I am rain towards the leaves
nurturing with indirect care,
I am words of comfort
upon airs on unexpected times,
I am water
and always will be.

Water is Life! Though as always, it has to be said that all the elements are necessary to make a well-rounded life. Just that a few need a nudge and reminder of their power every now and then!
