Raindrops

Imagine yourself as a raindrop Sharing space in a cloud Will I be part of a morning shower Or the member of an angry crowd Will I fall to earth on a gentle breeze Or ride the currents of a storm Will I be cool or refreshing or steamy muggy and warm Will I bounce upon some rooftop Or touch the leaf of a tree Rising along a storm surged tide Seeking some way to be free Will I kiss the petals of a daisy And glisten in the sun Or fall into a lazy pond That has no where to run Will I gently touch the soft brown earth Searching to find my roots Attach myself to a passerby Who is wearing rubber boots Will I find myself in a glass as part of a lemonade Or settled in a sheltered ditch As a puddle in the shade A raindrop's life is ongoing Like the angels tears Caressing the earth Rising once again into the sky Clouds symbolize rebirth Just imagine it for a moment And think of the rainbow in flight A raindrop divided into colors Bathed in heavenly light

One would not be thinking of a raindrop as being picturesque, but I see here where you have created that imagery with it as well as being romantic, violent, soothing and so on. One great story on a single raindrop. Great piece, Bill. Thanks for your visit and comment. One love Joy (Jew)
