Riding on a raindrop

Riding on a raindrop

Riding on a raindrop, down I plop, drip drop,
hitching on a passing cloud puffed by wind and blow.
I wait to plunge with speed that’s madly
gripped by Earth’s relentless gravity's
pull and tug which let me know
when’s time to jump, when’s time to go!

I leap! I pass resisting air! I zoom like comets do with flair
provided now with spatial berth to rocket race to Mother Earth
and bring to animal, birds and bees a liquid love on which to feed,
and to the plants some needed friends; two hydrogen atoms, one oxygen.

I crash with impact on a leaf. I bounce and tumble without grief
down to a face, fresh in the wind. I bring out wet a smile within.
My journey’s now almost complete, fulfilled I am, these epic feats
which lastly make one more demand, my final drip that feeds the land.

It’s not always funny, how the life of a raindrop can appear to parallel the life of us. Like us, our beautiful planet experiences droughts and flooding rains. This had a nice summery-afternoon-shower feel to it.
Very much enjoyed!

That's really clever, and it's such an adventure you've penned. How important the rain is.

Imaginatively, skillfully and most cleverly composed; a delight to read and much enjoyed.

Wordsmith - This subject matter came out of left field just after a cloudburst. Poets! Go figure! Mighty glad you stopped in. Namyh

This is such a wonderfully clever write. Would be a super poem to share with my grandchildren. In fact, That's what I'm gonna do. Well done on the spotlight. Most deserving.
