Life Sustaining Water

The water's calm but storms approach. 
Their clouds will soon be high.
With future fresh and past well-spent 
The birds play with the sky.

    Buildings so Severe.. Traffic Patterns Straight Ahead
    Then the SeaGull Drifting in the Wind Spiraling Around

    So Many

    Flying Now..:)
