Rain

The sky sheds tears and rain drops fall.
The pleasant sound of subsiding rain
each drop an offering from heaven.
Each drop creates the perfect circle
A Lilliputian  tsunami  created from just rain.
Natures metronome in over drive 
drip drop drip drop 
the  ticking of natures life clock. 
Each drop recycled tears of all the sadness done on earth.
