In "wave" dale wisely characterizes water as an element that

c. gives and takes life
d. is life

C. gives and takes life

In the poem Dale Wisely says that

"Waters split the firmament,

dividing heaven from earth

in a splashy feat of parting

here from… there."

The stanza in the poem is actually differentiating heaves from earth which means that life on earth and life after-here is a firmament between earth and skies. Life on earth is where living things are born and in the heavens they go when their life is taken.
