The Raindrop Is Alone

Because I exist
in this raindrop, 
I am alone

Because I fall
in solitude
from a gloomy sky 

I reflect a whole world
inside myself
that
I am not part of

Because you 
shield yourself
from me
with an open umbrella.

Jerry T Curtis Date: 10/6/2014 7:53:00 PM Gry, I love this write, But it has been my experience , one drop runs into another and umbrellas leak Login to Reply Gry Christensen Date: 10/6/2014 8:11:00 PM Hey there, thanks again for commenting. I am very happy you like my poetry! I don't think one normally use umbrellas that leak and no matter if a raindrop runs into another one in the end, it falls alone..just like the other one did......... :) Metaphors, I love them. Best wishes, Gry
