You take blood and make sperm. You take sperm and create an animal. You use the animal to evolve intelligence. Life keeps leading to more life. You drive me away gently as a flute song does a dove from the eaves. With the same song you call me back. You push me out on many journeys; then you anchor me with no motion at all.
I am water.
Rumi
