Droplets

We are but droplets 

Flung from ocean’s wave

The essence of the sea

Yet only temporarily separate

Each pursuing our own course

Diamonds sparkling with the warming sun

Cobalt pebbles reflecting shadowed clouds

Some arcing to return directly to the depths

Thus sustaining that which birthed us

Some evaporating and ascending to the skies

To re-form and return as rain

Nourishing the Earth and its inhabitants

Before flowing as gentle streams and mighty rivers

Carving mountain’d stone to yawing canyons

Finding our way back to lapping shores

All rejoining the whole

And though we may not recall

Those times we have been as one

We each share that collective legacy

As we are once again thrust upwards

To become a momentary being

And begin the glorious cycle

Anew
