Inspired by Iliana's Power of One . . .

One is a beginning . . .

Without one,
there could be no two.

One is but a drop of rain.

But on its journey
it inspires others
and is joined
until it becomes a shower . . .

and the shower
becomes a down pour-

swelling the stream
from trickle
to river . . .

which runs its course
overflowing
moving and pressing
overcoming obstacles
until its flow reaches
and joins with-

the sea . . .

which is grand in its vastness
and awesome in its might.

and to think . . .

it all began
with
one

s.a.t.

Happiness isn't something that happens to you, it's created from within you. Joy is a state of mind.

Thank you Linda -- let's all be little drops of compassionate rain, then imagine the swell of love . . .

Hugs -- Susan

Susan, I do so enjoy it when poets
break words down, as you did...
down pour

it causes one to break apart their
mindthought...to make them
hear
the words with another ear...

yes...

and that you were touched
by another's poem...

well, that makes this even more special.

Susan,
I like how you multiplied the oneness to become greater than itself! This is an excellent addition to my library, a great resource for that rainy day. Thanks so much for sharing your talents.
