Rain Drop

It started high up in the clouds, the moisture balling together until it became a perfect tear drop hovering then falling down, gaining speed. Bumping into others amalgamating, spinning dropping ever downwards. Landing with large splash on a leaf and trickling, running ever down. Joining still as it flows on over the edge to the ground. The rain drop fell into a puddle and spread out reflecting the sky. Glistening, sparkling and pulsing It follows the contours of the land giving life to all as it passes by, relentlessly advancing with glee. Not over yet, it flowed into a lake now a vast body of water it continues onwards, ever onwards. One day it will return to the sky. That's another story.
