Thirsting for a fundamental key
to life in the universe
we search the cosmos
for evidence of water
claiming victory for water-
discovery on exoplanets
light years away
while here on Earth
a drop of water
lingers for a moment
where and when it’s not
needed
then falls silently
from a solitary
Icicle.
