A raindrop falls
and perishes in the sun
A summer shower
has just begun
Another drop falls
and trickles down the gate
Up in the hollow
the waters wait
Until a downpour
swallows drop after drop
And the stream rises
and overtops
The banks and pasture
disappear
The flood announces
another year
Will be one of
replenish and repair
From raindrops
appearing in thin air.
