WATER, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: The world turns softly / not to spill its lakes and rivers
Last Line: And can hold the sky?


THE world turns softly
Not to spill its lakes and rivers.
The water is held in its arms
And the sky is held in the water.
What is water,
That pours silver,
And can hold the sky?
