A Single Drop

silver drops
lay patiently
on green and brown
waiting to tenderly
tuck in
and kiss
dry blades
skin that has
been thick and dormant
through winter
flourishing within
this replenishment of
the caressing moisture

things change
through the
winds of time
as surely as
constant flowing water
reshapes stone
and we know
that flowers
the petals
we dearly love
are nothing more
than colored leaves
and life
can start anew
with a single tear
or a drop of dew

Ah, but nothing brightens the day more than those colored leaves....and of course your poetry!   Well done.

Lovely Helen. Chris

Life is not measured by breaths you take, but by moments that take your breath away.

This made me think of putting on moisturizer when my skin dries out .... which is strange of me to think. Enjoyed the poem.
