One raindrop

caught on a leaf

poised at the edge

not daring to fall

not wanting to stay.

 

One teardrop

rolling down the face

witness to silence

and promises

made in vain.

 

One dewdrop

on a blade of grass

waiting to die

in the rays

of the sun.

 

Rain rivers

on the windscreen

as I watch

smeary red tail lights

that blink as you leave.

 

All drops

in the ocean

the ocean of my soul

clothing my fears

in surreal weaves..
