Sometimes



Sometimes....

I wonder if we are but a drop
In a free fall
Glistening, spherical and round
Creating a rainbowy hue
Along with our fellow mates
Sharing a similar fate....

Does the drop know
Its fate
Or the colour it glistens in
As everybody awes and oohs
Does anybody care about the drop’s fate?
It is but a single drop of a multitude
Falling down
It is but creating the rainbowy hue
Who cares when the sight is so great?
That the drop fell
Splattered, in a wetty mess

As the fall pushes many to their fates
Moves on
Creating beauty without and within
Does it really matter
The fate the drop met?
It is, after all, but a drop
In a multitude that met their fates

Then, Should the drop pity itself
Or be pleased
As it, even briefly so,
Was but a beautiful part of this Creative mess...

  1. Beautiful! I never thought of a rainbow this way. In a way, we all seem to be no more than the drops in this creative mess. Or do we really have a little more control on our lives.

    Keep writing :)

  2. The 'drop in the ocean' concept seems much nicer when put this way. Good poem!

  4. This article I read today reminded me of your blog, not for any general reason but because of a particular sentence within the article itself. It's a very well-written, heartfelt article. I think you'll like it.
