Across
  1. 2. I rain down upon you, cleansing embrace; a cascade of droplets, rejuvenating grace.
  2. 4. A serpent in nature, yet in code it dances; bringing structure and logic to digital advances.
  3. 6. Despite my service in drying plight, with each endeavor, I embrace the wet might.
  4. 7. Underfoot, a verdant sea; nature's carpet, swaying free.
  5. 9. Within me, a journey's step is kept; yet without me, no stride is adept.
  6. 10. I bring stories to life with flickering glow; sit back, tune in, and let the images flow.
  7. 12. With ink and paper, I come alive; producing words and images, oh how I strive.
  8. 13. In my cycle, grime departs; garments gain refreshed starts.
  9. 14. A wall's whisperer, breaking silence, linking rooms in sound alliance.
Down
  1. 1. Box of preservation, culinary cold ward; within my icy realm, freshness is my sword.
  2. 3. I capture ideas yet forget all; clean slate anew with a swipe small.
  3. 5. Shaped for comfort, not aesthetic alone; in work's long hours, I ease the bone.
  4. 6. I am summoned in tears and sneeze, a fleeting comfort, disease to appease.
  5. 8. Within my gaze, worlds unreal unfold; I am but a window to the digital hold.
  6. 11. Silent glider, devourer of dust; invisible messes, in me, you entrust.
