Water's Compositional Secrets

Hydrogen and Oxygen you look so beautiful compounded together beneath this aqua marine surface.

Your polar covalent bondage allows me to see the many shapes you can form.

As tiny molecular droplets you cling to one another like beads on a smooth surface.

Your attraction to foreign objects makes the world below look like a canvas that rises up against the force of gravity.

You protect those living within from drastic changes impressed upon you like a mother protecting its young.

There are days when I envy the simple alteration that can be made to your inner core…

Those times when you get to reinvent yourself and adjust your external appearance

Those times when your internal energy redefines your state of being

But today, I simply embrace the peacefulness that you bring as I dive through you and smile knowing your compositional secrets.

The battle continued for 30 minutes as the boat was expertly maneuvered to tire him out - Once exhausted his 6' 120 lb. body of muscular justice was thrust onto the boat.

He was examined, photographed, and released back in an effort to honor his creator.
