Rain Drop

Each time you drink some water you are drinking the essence of the stars all water is formed by

dying stars and stars being born.

It started high up in the clouds,
the moisture balling together until
it became a perfect tear drop hovering
then falling down, gaining speed.

Bumping into others amalgamating,
spinning dropping ever downwards.
Landing with large splash on a leaf
and trickling, running ever down.

Joining still as it flows on
over the edge to the ground.
The rain drop fell into a puddle
and spread out reflecting the sky.

Glistening, sparkling and pulsing
It follows the contours of the land
giving life to all as it passes  by,
relentlessly advancing with glee.

Not over yet, it flowed into a lake
now a vast body of water it continues
onwards, ever onwards. One day it
will return to the sky. That's another story.

Dear Shadow, never before had I thought of how similar our lives are to raindrops. This is a stunningly beautiful description and I love the way you describe the "return to the sky" that we'll all have one day. Another fave from a favorite writer. Just wish my health was better so I could read all of your work, dear. You are so talented! Forgive me. Blessings to you, Carolyn
