A Single Droplet

A single droplet from the sky

Refreshing and pleasing to the eye

Splash of joy on your skin

Sparks your senses from deep within


As the droplet turns to slight drizzle

You move ahead, to enjoy the season

The sudden appearance of crashing rain

Pushes your feet, back again


A single droplet down her cheek

The clenching sadness, which makes you weak

Drowning in your own emotional sway

You forgot to take her pain away


Then you realize the words you said

Your actions and the scenes you made

Caused a leak in the dam she held

Beneath her eyes and around herself


Another droplet on the pale paper

The one you thought would be your savior

Shade of blue left by a moving crystal

A trail of words beyond decodable 


You start to dab, you start to blow

But the droplet has moved far below

Destroying the meaning of the words that meant

Far to much and far to great


A single droplet down your throat

Seeping life from its approach

Might crush you with the pain of cough

If  slithers down your trachea unstopped


A compound with sigma-pie bonds

Two atoms of hydrogen which oxygen flaunts

The heavenly nectar that one craves

From dusk to dawn, and cradle to grave

All on a single droplet

All on a single droplet
