Water has no shape

Water has no shape

Water has no shape
but burns and scrapes
rock and soul.
In tumult rush and snailing grind
fashioning art
from gentle forgiving landscapes.
What shape water when it slakes a thirst
but the touch of God to a parchment.
What shape water when it baptises
but that of the Holy Spirit
the touching of God
on the garden of your soul.
You are shaped of water
