Silently Falling

Look at the drops of rain
Falling silently
Glistening in the light
They make no sound
No one can tell they are around
Falling, dripping off tree branches,
A steady stream cascading, gently
To the ground below
Clear as crystal in daylight
Unseen in the darkness of night
The precious gift of water
Given from above
To sustain life
This little droplet so small
Is the source of survival above all

Dear Phyl, (if I May), YOU are so Awesome in YOUR description of Nature. One can hear the Whispers of the rain, smell the fragrants of its Life giving, and see the Rainbows in each droplet as YOU Write as If YOU are Mother Nature Herself Superb Quill. Another Fav. I LOVE YOU ALWAYS and FOREVER YOUR Eternal Liege...Harry
