Drop leaves Faucet
carefully –
slyly looking both ways
like a prisoner in a daring escape,
takes a breath
closes eyes,
Launches!
free falling bliss
to desperate reconsideration
wind pulls delicate skin
and all is quiet
Drop shatters into
a million shining sparks on a stainless steel
tundra,
Transforms into something infinitely soft.
Take one last look, Drop, at a cold grey world and
drain toward something
altogether new

I just BECAME that drop–while reading–and now I feel myself evaporating. But In my inner hydrogen, I am certain there is a heaven of wetness waiting for me above.
And it will send me back again…but where? Maybe this time as a salty tear in your eye, to help your cry.
Sorry! I just write what I'm thinkin' sometimes and I cannot stop the keys from clacking.
PEACE!

This is lovely Jody! I like the use of texture and imagery that bring this to life. Well done!

very cool piece…love how it all starts with a drop and becomes so much more…and i like the allusions to its own trepedations at the drop…

“Stainless steel tundra” – awesomesauce.
Great imagery abounds through this – ace writing.

I love the verbs – transforms, launches, shatters ~ That drop can turn into a river ~

Is your drop mindful she has options? Can she find a different wind to nudge her?
I wish your drop, a new, clings longer, endures for having found a better place.
Perhaps you will write of it if it comes to pass and in a way as eloquently as you have done here.
Cheers
