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.
