Raindrop Dream

To be a drop of water

dancing among the sand

then pulled back into the ocean

all at the Moon's command.

And then into the heavens

I transform into a rain drop dear

and I fall back down to Earth

but within I have no fear

I land on the leaf of a willow

dripping so calmly into a forest stream

and I can't help but think to myself

This is a raindrop's dream

And from that stream, what comes next?

a secret under ground cave

the ancient stories they echo

off the walls in a sound wave.

Then suddenly the sun appears

and reflects off me as I pour

into a peaceful mountain lake

dear silence again once more

After time to enjoy the quiet

a river I have found

and I become a mighty rapid

through canyons and valleys I'm bound

A southern direction I will flow

until a waterfall, I'm free

I know I'm headed back home again

to the life breathing, soul healing sea.
