Lots of Water Drops

1/8/17


At speeds of several knots
Near and far from docks with yachts
Lots of water drops
Falling non-stop
All across
The rocks and moss
As well as atop of fields with crops
Causing some to rot
Or have spots that are soft
While there is an ongoing rise and fall with stocks

Due to floods and the frost
Areas being locked down and blocked

Opportunities knock
Around the clock

Get it while you can
Instead of having it slip through your hand
Faster than sand
Above and below the land

Don't try to throw your life away
Night and day
Any time and place
Close or beyond any pines and clay
