Poem
A storm was ending outside my door The last trillion drops just fell Lightning flashed and thunder roared It truly seemed like hell Then up I looked and saw a drop Falling hard and fast A tortured route with many turns I hoped the drop would last I watched it fall from all that way It’s purpose clear to see While it fell from way up there It only looked for me Still some ways it had to fall I could not tell its fate Then it lit on my warm lips And did promptly evaporate I kissed that drop as best I could And I told it what to do “You have a single task”, I said I told it to find you. I sensed an understanding there I think my request was clear The difficulty of the task Was really my only fear Then in a whoosh the wispy gas Was swept up in stormy winds Up, up and away it did ascend And mix with its other friends The steamy vapor climbed aloft And commingled with common sense It met up with others of its kind Where all cooled and did condense I wondered if the other drops Had missions assigned to them Or were they there for company For my little liquid friend There were hazards large and small ahead The way the trip would go Frigid temps could make it freeze The drop might turn into snow The wind could take the little wisp Along the wrong direction And then the little tiny drop Would never make the connection But things went well the trip took days It had no special fare It simply caught the global winds And said a little pray That it might find its way to you Across mile after mile And with some very special luck It might get to see your smile The little drop is now very near It’s looking down for you Avoiding lightning, wind and more Trying to make it through Now this drop that fell before And touched upon my face Begins its spiral down again Moving at quite a pace Dodging weaving through the clouds This drop did make its way Gaining speed and size of course But would it last the day? Suddenly the ground came near And the timing was so good There you were looking up Just as we knew you would The little drop had come at last From clouds way up above It alighted on your warm lips And kissed you with all my love
