Water

Water is patient. It wears slowly at the land. Consuming it bit by bit. It engulfs the air. It extinguishes fire. Water can change it's form, be it rising as steam when it heats or further up in the sky as a cloud. Or harder than that, colder, as ice. Water can take many shapes and many forms. Water is old. Water is life. From the water we crawled out and one day the water will reclaim us all.
