wet

glisten

a drop

upon a leaf
for a sprite to sip

upon a rock
reflecting pool
where an ant
might stop
and stare

upon the ground
slipping between the grains
like so many of us
looking for the roots

the ties
between here
and
there

shaken from our feathers
as we fly
as we leave the ground
to soar

scattered to the winds
in a mist cascading

to fall upon a blade of grass

through the heart

a drop

from the heavens to the earth
