What Value?

A droplet of water. 
Millions of molecules, zillions of interactions;
Chaos.

Struggle continues, for self preservation;
And annihilation.
It is unique.

HA  HA  HA
One of so many.

Born and struggles to live, creates attachment;
A puddle, a pond, a river, a sea, an ocean.
Only to evaporate; to die.

A struggle meaningful, only till it ends.
Worthless in summation.
Or, is it?

Don’t know the answer.
Only know this; its life.

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
