Drops of Life

Sustaining me in every way-
A mild gust that makes my soul sing-
I catch a face full of it and laugh,
For no one can see me cry-

Pouring down on me in sheets,
It lists the trees and sways the clouds-
Making the world less powerful, with more imperfections-
I may take a lesson from this wonder-

Raising me up to defy my logic-
I wasn’t worth anything, not even now-
You whispered to me and I became;
I realized I was something-

Reflective and gentle-
Cooling me, consoling me-
A sense of security I had never dreamt of before-
Less rage in my heart to know you love me-

The droplets perfect,
Brilliantly cut crystals-
Millions of them align to mask my joy-
My face so tight with unseen ecstasy-
It looks as if I made a mistake,
But only we know the truth-
The only mistake I made was walking through the rain with you-
