Raindrops twirling from the clouds,
Aerial dance, choreography of heaven.
Clinging in childlike faith to leaf and stem and petal,
Tension creates beauty – surface tautly stretches
To contain its entirety.
Gravity whispers slow,
Hungry with delighted anticipation.
Molecule joins to fellow, seeking companionship
In the great migration;
Drawn irresistibly to the center of the Earth,
Each raindrop traces the path of its ancestors
And abandons itself to the pull of the Deep,
the Joy of surrender.
So beautiful, and much to contemplate…Thank you, Ellen
