Drawn from the water

Drawn from the water
  to give life
Drawn from the water
  which supports life
All the creatures teeming
  in the bounds 
Under the confines of what
  would kill us 
Except when we drink from
  its shores or wash
Bathing in its color, coolness 
  fishing its food
Destroying the rarity contained 
  within its banks
We are drawn again to cleansing
  and baptism
Water is life, it gives and gives
  it overflows and makes new
Being drawn to the water heals 
  us within and without
Drawn in by tide and moon
  rhythm and waves
Drawn to its side for play and joy
  it is so fragile and we must
Remember we were drawn from 
  the waters to live and protect
