Earth and Water

as the water flows it needs the earth it dictates it's path whether it evaporates, whether it nurtures or causes destruction "who am I?" says the water "why does the immobile earth dictate a trajectory for me and get to decide if I am a source of comfort or chaos?" there is no choice in the matter but this is just the journey there is a destination, some of those droplets become the lake with its calm serenity and consistent sense of self connected to other droplets; happy just to be maybe they'll become the rain and again be at the mercy of the journey maybe there can be joy in all forms there can be aspirations or acceptance I am the water droplet with many fates not all of my own making; but I'll journey and I'll rest people will be thankful at times and at other times less so but I never need to be defined by those times because I can change
