Water Under The Bridge ~

It is life, I think, to watch the water. A man can learn so many things. - Nicholas Sparks, The Notebook.

I have always been intrigued by the depth of the ocean and found that water teaches us the realities of life. The rush and rage of the waves is similar to the emotions and struggles which we face when we choose to step out into this world.

Water Under The Bridge

 If you're gonna let me down, let me down gently
Don't pretend that you don't want me
Our love ain't water under the bridge
If you're gonna let me down, let me down gently
Don't pretend that you don't want me
Our love ain't water under the bridge
Say that our love ain't water under the bridge (full song here)

All water has a perfect memory and is forever trying to get back to where it was. - Toni Morrison

I pray to be like the ocean, with soft currents, maybe waves at times. More and more, I want the consistency rather than the highs and the lows. - Drew Barrymore

We're imprisoned in the realm of life, like a sailor on his tiny boat, on an infinite ocean. - Anna Freud

So, our challenge today is to write about water. You can draw inspiration from the music video by Adele and the quotes which I have shared above. I look forward to reading what you guys come up with. Please do visit others and remember to comment on their poems. Have fun!
