The Water Cycle

Some dances last forever
cycling through the moves
it’s how Earth keeps a constant
a nature-driven groove.

Hip-hopping on the surface
water droplets bounce
jiving to the Sun’s beat
‘til suddenly they jounce-

evaporation.

Water vapour waltzes
swirling in the air
carried on the current
over here to over there.

Colliding with each other
the molecules take hands
a cloudy cabaret
cool atmospheric bands-

condensation.

Left feet are taking over
clouds clash with gentle bumps
the molecules a mosh pit
unlucky ones are dumped-

precipitation.

Rain can fall in buckets
snow can fall in heaps
runoff into rivers,
through valleys,
into seas-

Dancing on forever
waving to the skies
sun sparkling like a disco ball
drawing them up high.
