Recycle Rain

One by one they fall 
thumbling down from 
the sky they fall.
Like bullets from a 
machine gun they come.
With frightening speed 
they come.
The ground they hit 
causing  small craters in 
the earth.
Then down they go 
sipping into the earth.
Bathing in its nutrients 
and minerals.
Diluting everything it 
comes into contact with.
Then it stops.
At the roots it stops.
Then ascending they go.
Up the stem of life they 
rise  
through its green mosaic 
they rise.
Changing from the 
physical.
To the unseen.
Then up to the heavens 
the rise.
And congregate in the 
clouds. 
The recyclee of rain drops.
