Poem: Morning Walk, Evening Walk
By: Donovan Baldwin
Every morning I walk by the water.
Every evening I walk by the water.
Same path,
Yet...
Every time it's different,
Different water,
Different view,
Different me.
Every morning I walk by the water.
Every evening I walk by the water.
Same path,
Yet...
Every time it's different,
Different water,
Different view,
Different me.

Poem: The Shape Of Water
By: Donovan Baldwin
Water takes the shape of what it's in.
Who and what we are is in the shape
Of where we find ourselves in
Life, and space, and time.
Water ripples, or made to waves by wind,
As the loves and hates that blow on us,
Cause our surfaces to alter,
Changing our outer selves.
Within, as water wild or softly flowing,
We remain the same, little changed in fact,
By all the changes made on us;
Our essential molecules remain.
Still, within ourselves, as pebbles in a stream,
Are small bits of us becoming worn smooth,
Slowly changed by the flow of tiem,
Making us different each passing day.
Who and what we are is in the shape
Of where we find ourselves in
Life, and space, and time.
Water ripples, or made to waves by wind,
As the loves and hates that blow on us,
Cause our surfaces to alter,
Changing our outer selves.
Within, as water wild or softly flowing,
We remain the same, little changed in fact,
By all the changes made on us;
Our essential molecules remain.
Still, within ourselves, as pebbles in a stream,
Are small bits of us becoming worn smooth,
Slowly changed by the flow of tiem,
Making us different each passing day.
