Dancing Raindrops

Lonely Raindrop, only one chance to stir the waters that collect and pool on the ground. Diving in, he rebounds and dissipates, conforming to all other drops that fell down. If you've seen one raindrop, you've seen them all… not a unique bunch of fellows, they. A weary life reflected by the back drop of black clouds and skies of gray. When the air turns cold and life gets tough, their white scars begin to show through… That's when they can set themselves apart, each one a unique,frozen flake of dew. An insignificant mass, this collection of mist especially when dancing alone… …but when Raindrop dances with all his friends, together they move mountains of stone.

I love this one Crystol. A little raindrop and his one chance to stir the waters, but when life gets tough, that when raindrops stand out - and watch out! working together (as glaciers?), they move mountains. Great one!

Dear Crystol, soulful poetess, your poem is a perfect reflection of isolated, insignificant strength of one "lonely Raindrop" versus the strength of "Raindrop" when amassed with "all his friends". Indeed, their "dancing" can "move mountains of stone" - such meaningful and evocative finale. I adore your vivid imagery, rich metaphor and wonderful personification to bring raindrop to life in a contemplation of the potent difference between individuality and community. Your golden pen gleams! Warmest wishes my inspiring friend.. ~Susan

You're so kind Susan, thank you! Community, friendships, family, all things that give us strength and power. And to me, it is those tough times suffered, and survived that set us apart as unique and lovely... especially our scars. Raindrop may look the same as all his fellows but there's no one quite like Snowflake! Tysm for visiting! If you put the tea on, I'll come by soon lol!xoxo

In the entirety of Earth there is a finite amount of water. It is cycled over and over in various iterations, but only a finite amount exists. You have captured some of that "science" in this wonderful poem.

Nice! Unity in motion can accomplish so much. Disunity breeds anarchy and chaos. I'm wit ya
