Aqua is a water spirit.

💧Poetic Droplets: Messenger of the Rainbow

Snow melts, the earth awakens
The first to bloom at that moment
Is a tiny blue rainbow droplet

Amidst the still-chilly wind
It blooms nonetheless, gazing skyward

“Spring is coming”
That flower, earlier than any other,
Illuminates the ground with the sky's color.
