About Rain Drops

Hidden in the rain drops coming down
Galaxies hide between each one unseen
Wandering particles, giants meandering
Caught in humidity thick amid the wet
Heat waves measure out ripples
No matter how hot and heavy it gets
Vastness is left to the cosmos alone

Naked above the landscape 
Green with envy nature makes no mistake
Begins by pouring out its heart

Showers are shrouded in storm warnings
Concrete weight takes the measure of rain
In streams of definition to the surface reservoirs 

Fog rolls with the eyes misunderstanding
Stars stand out to fool the wanderer
Each one dots the sky
Cross boundaries of perception to be detected
Find resurrection in the storm

It is more than we can fathom in a tear
Mist worries us but that is not the same

Far and wide amid each system
Something undetected passes by 
What about rain drops glistening
They capture our imagination

We miss what is going on between them
It is all about perception flanked by drops
Knowing not to sit about simply watching
Waiting for them to fall in cold succession

Vision can not pierce through solid clouds
Trust the blanket of the rain
To cover the cosmic wonders out of sight
Showers know what to do from their point of view
From their perspective
Which is good to the last drop coming down
