The Tongue of the  Liquid
poem

The Tongue of the Liquid

TONGUE OF THE LIQUID


My tears speak

To my soul in 366 different tongues

With the tongue of the liquid the 366th.


The liquid does not allow obstacles

On its path stop it from dropping.

It moves slowly

And find it's way to the other side

And then drops.

It is soft and unstoppable.


The liquid speaks bravery,

It speaks courage and strength.

It flows without forcing.

It speaks honesty not ego.


It changes that concentrated acid and base

To the diluted one

Reducing the harm it may cause

When it splashes on a being.


When we mistakenly take H2SO4 into our System,

The first thing chemistry teacher says is "Take water".

Or when HCL2 splashes it harsh self on me,

the chemistry teacher says "wash with Water".

Why?, because water is that liquid

Which neutralises toxicity without effort.

It defines softness and strength.


The liquid takes the shape of any container

It is poured into;

A bent bottle,

A heart shaped jug,

An incomplete heart shaped can.

It adapts without losing itself.


The liquid does not shout.

It seeps,

It drips,

It wears down stone.


To speak the tongue of liquid

Is to speak without force,

To heal without hurting,

To lead without pushing

And to be present

But never demanding attention.
