A Single Drop

A single drop, from a dew laden tree A single drop falls to earth from a silver birch Thus a new birth. This single drop begins its' search To find another single drop to join,to form a pool. This gathering will never stop This tiny silver rivulet, joined by others Forming a stream, with its brothers This stream grows, shaded by silver birch This water now flows tinkling over rock It continues its' search, to find others in the flock This river now flows, cascading over rocks heavy with melted winter snow Billions of single drops, making new flocks This river flows in to the sea Fresh water meeting salinity Tides governed by the moon This single drop Its life will end soon A single drop carried high far in to the sky From the immense blue sea, caught by billowing cloud To be delivered to me A single drop to fall A single drop I need, to start this waterfall, a tiny water seed A single drop I feel..... on my cheek Nature begins to heal More drops I seek A single drop to find its way, more drops ...i pray. A single drop matters you see........ A life event, heaven sent, for you and me
