Raindrop
Tumbling from heaven
Down to earth
Never seen before
And then, one more
Joins to the other
Like a sister and
her brother
Getting close to
each other
Falling deep
Into the reed
Of a smooth
Of a flow of a
stream
Within
A sunbeam
Reflects the truth
Of all the others
Sisters and
brothers.
Roaring
Rushing and crashing
A croaking of a song
Crawling
With hundreds and
hundreds
Of a ton
Of hopes and dreams
Smashing
With other streams
Become a river
Of laughing and
crying
The stuffing for
dying.
Later on,
All the rumour’s
gone
The water snake
Meanders
For God’s sake
Our only defender’s
Faith
Takes us under the
grace
To complete the sea
With one drop more
And to be
Where we’ve been
before.
