Drop of Water

I am condensed gas, a drop of water
in free fall from grey rumbling skies,
frolicking in breezes as I precipitate,
and as the sun’s light penetrates my membrane
I send forth a mystical rainbow
for all earth’s children to marvel at!

As I touch a waiting earth
slowly dripping from a drooping leaf,
I trickle through a mossy floor,
quenching a forest’s thirst.
Far above, dancing silver flowers bloom
and sway in gusts of soft spring winds.

I struggle past countless obstacles
joining with many friends along the way:
together we find the will to forge ahead,
becoming a rivulet among washed stones,
discovering hidden horizons,
creating others to satisfy earth’s needs.

We find new paths to follow,
roots to feed and meadows to carve,
forming ever wider streams,
surging ahead gathering force
to become a mighty flowing river
forever feeding the sea,
forever becoming one.

Today I have lacked that sense of completion, the serenity that comes from knowing I'm on the way, in the right way. Nothing else to say but thank you.

I don't library poems often....but this will be one.
