A Fall in Existence

A singular tear,
born from the sky's embrace,
trembling at the precipice,
poised for its descent.

Surrender to the unknown,
an acceptance of gravity’s pull.
The raindrop embraces the fall,
a fleeting dance with the earth.

Tiny whispers gather,
and a chorus of drops united.
Forming a river is a testament
to the power of surrendering.

Lost in the flow,
the individual raindrop disappears,
but within that surrender,
it finds a new identity.

It becomes a force,
shaping the world around it,
carving canyons, feeding the earth,
a testament to transformation.

Like the raindrop that
finds its purpose in the river,
we too find our strength in letting go,
embracing the unknown,
and trusting the flow of existence.
