RAINDROPS

RAINDROPS START AS A VAPOR

EVAPORATED FROM THE SEAS,

THEN TURN INTO THE LIGHTEST MIST

THAT ONE CAN BARELY SEE.

AND FROM THIS THE CLOUDS ARE BORN

SOME FLUFFY, SOME WISPY AND LIGHT,

AND SOME ARE DARK AND LOWERING

AND BRING THE DUSKINESS OF NIGHT.

INTO EACH LIFE SOME RAIN MUST FALL,

SOME GENTLE AND OH, SO SWEET,

YET AT MANY OTHER TIMES,

IT MAY SWEEP YOU OFF YOUR FEET.

THE RAINDROPS ALWAYS FALL TO EARTH

TO WATER NATURE'S CROPS,

THEY MAY LILT AND SWIRL IN THE WIND,

OR MAY APPEAR AS FAST, LARGE DROPS.

RAIN FALLING UPON MY UPTURNED FACE

FILLS MY HEART SO FULL

OF THE FEELING OF BEING ONE WITH NATURE,

NEVER EMPTY, NEVER DULL.

THERE ARE EVEN SOME WHISPERING MISTS

THAT ENGULF YOU WITHIN THEIR ARMS,

THEY MAKE YOU WANT TO HUG THEM BACK

WITH THEIR MISTY, LOVELY CHARM.

YET REMEMBER WHERE IT COMES FROM,

THE MISTY, OR THE HEAVY RAIN,

IT IS EVAPORATED BODIES OF WATER,

AND RETURNS FROM WHENCE IT CAME.
