    If I were a plant

Thoughts talk endlessly
Walking in the rain.
Which drops will wet me
And which drop falls vain?

Torrents are flowing
Through chasms that turn
From some I will glean
For some I will yearn.

I'm wet to the bone
No shelter no door
I walk in the rain
And feel it no more.

If I were a plant
With roots in the ground
Would be no question
Which drop would be sound.

Great writing...such a view...I'd hate to be
one of MY plants though....poor little
things, maybe they die from boredom as I
pour my heart out to them....lol
