rain-streaked window
against a gray sky
looks almost stucco-like

like a wall that
you can see through
but cannot touch

up close, I can see the beads
perfect symmetrical worlds of being
some standing still, others moving too fast
like shooting stars on a crystal plane

I wonder if they can travel up
why they travel down
and, what makes them stay

and, I lament when another bead
                                   another life
comes streaking down that crystal plane
and leaves only dryness
                            in its path

Great imagery, Sven.  Life does indeed have many planes.  That I know for sure.

Good write.

Extremely deep and meditative words here....got me thinking.  Which is good, I like to think about the little things in the world and how they fit into the big picture.  Anyways, I'm rambling....beautiful poetry and imagery.  I enjoyed the read.
