FAITH
Trust, true allegiance, loyalty, belief
Having once lost, finding faith is relief

Okay, I went off the rails with this one. It's more of a free verse kind of contraption. I hope you like it.

Life-gi ving,
And life-taking,
Utterly nec essary,
From deep steam y vents
And trails of wispy nimbus
To massive, ship-destroy ing bergs
Filling the world with verdant, teaming life
Entities from the immense to the m icroscopic
Unexplored depths hiding closely gua rded secrets
An oxygen and two hydrogen molecules b ound together
In an eternal, carefully engineered and ord e red dance
Rising and falling, breathing like a living ent ity, in and out
Moving across the world's face at seemingly random whim
Of the wind and the moon and earth's mas sive gravity
Making life on this rare, M Class plane t possible
In all its rich variety, filling eve ry void
Water carves the rock, br inging
Mountains to their knees
Life-giving water
