The Raindrop Is Alone

Because I exist in this raindrop, I am alone Because I fall in solitude from a gloomy sky I reflect a whole world inside myself that I am not part of Because you shield yourself from me with an open umbrella. © Gry W Christensen

You are not an outsider my friend. As a fine poet you stand in good company! One of the best free verse writers on this site IMHO. Solid 7 material my friend!!

Hey there, thanks again for commenting. I am very happy you like my poetry! I don't think one normally use umbrellas that leak and no matter if a raindrop runs into another one in the end, it falls alone..just like the other one did......... :) Metaphors, I love them. Best wishes, Gry
