Riding on a raindrop
Riding on a raindrop
Riding on a raindrop, down I plop, drip drop,
hitching on a passing cloud puffed by wind and blow.
I wait to plunge with speed that’s madly
gripped by Earth’s relentless gravity's
pull and tug which let me know
when’s time to jump, when’s time to go!
I leap! I pass resisting air! I zoom like comets do with flair
provided now with spatial berth to rocket race to Mother Earth
and bring to animal, birds and bees a liquid love on which to feed,
and to the plants some needed friends; two hydrogen atoms, one oxygen.
I crash with impact on a leaf. I bounce and tumble without grief
down to a face, fresh in the wind. I bring out wet a smile within.
My journey’s now almost complete, fulfilled I am, these epic feats
which lastly make one more demand, my final drip that feeds the land.

Re: Riding on a raindrop
It’s not always funny, how the life of a raindrop can appear to parallel the life of us. Like us, our beautiful planet experiences droughts and flooding rains. This had a nice summery-afternoon-shower feel to it.
Very much enjoyed!

Re: Riding on a raindrop
That's really clever, and it's such an adventure you've penned. How important the rain is.
Give me a paper,
and give me a pen,
I'll write justification,
I'll need it as well.
