A Drop Of Water
A drop of water.
Insignificant, invisible, powerless
Falling down,
down,
down,
Onto the surface of a pond.
Creating a ripple,
That creates ripples,
That continues creating ripples,
Until the entire body of water comes alive,
Than is still once more.
Like glass.
But something has changed,
The pond is just a little deeper.
A drop of water is all I am,
But when I create those ripples,
It is everything i am.
Even when that drop of water settles to the bottom,
Those ripples continue forever.
