Turquoise

"Turquoise" By Path

   The element of water...powerful yet serene. It can grind away the 
ancient mountains; can breathe life to desolate landscapes. With three
merged molecules, it creates the basis of life.  
   It exists in all three forms. Hides lost treasures and life forms. 
Does the great Kraken exist under its surface? Do Poseidon and the 
Hippocampus hide in the deep, awaiting a time for re-emergence?  
   Will it end the world; fire or water? What will it become? Matter, 
antimatter; water and fire. Each cancels the other out, which will in 
the end prevail? Carries sound, unclouded, pure. Echoing back, again 
as before. No weight, cool and lifting as space.  
   Feeds plants, nourishes the ground. Moves as it wishes, a rhapsody 
of waves. Pulled by the moon, in a great tug-o-war. Does it resist? 
Can it be, that unicorns once walked the ground? And returned to the 
sea, Life?s origin?  
   Dolphins gave up the Earth, to return where it all began. The fish 
have learned to fly, and the fish will learn to cry?as we are 
destroying our ancient home, and their only chance to survive. Our 
water begins to die...slowly and permanently.
   We can escape to new worlds, but the deadly cycle will continue. As
long as humans exist, peace will not be completely found. Tranquillity
has lost its meaning, but hope has not. 
   Why did Pandora release hope if we do not cling to it? If we do not
nurture and use it? A waste, that we will eventually have to suffer 
and pay for. 
   What is its deadly price?  Only the ones we destroy know...
