Drop in no Bucket

We watch water pool within the spout
As handle quivers reminiscent of a hand recently gone
Until pond transforms to drop which falls
Perfect in symmetry, embraced by rude earth
Throws back parts of that which was whole
Each follows its own path, shorter than before, independent
Damp imprints on unforgiving dust canvas
All that remains and that but for a moment
Horse whinnies, cow ruminations float by movingly
Wheels wind by throwing clouds settling a new layer
New canvas lain down in random anticipation of whatever may come
Another pool, Another plunge
Pattern never repeated

(big hugggssssss) Wow, this is a very touching and thought-provoking poem, sweet friend, may we always paint our canvases with our hearts and may only our inspiration be a drop in a bucket of eternal thought! (smiles) We all love you so much, sweet friend, this is outstanding! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Bart, thank you for sharing!

May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

This is very good, and so true.
I liked what you said about no two patterns being the same,
each drop in the bucket serves it's own purpose.

I liked this!
