Life Giving Journey
by muffincontrol on May 17, 2004
One little droplet glistening so bold,
waiting in silence as the petal unfolds.
It catches the sunlight and dazzles the eye,
it's loyalties split while catching the ride.
Beneath it lies the droplets main goal,
the recipient holding love stories untold.
Like the blush of a woman as it warms to her cheeks,
is the fullness of color and the fragrance so sweet.
As the tilt of the fauna causes the droplet to fall,
the bud starts to blossom now answering the call.
It's colors prepare as it seeks one more taste,
of that life giving fluid now moving with haste.
The droplet falls hard now spending it's life,
forgetting past journeys, forsaking the light.
It gives itself freely as it's energy's spent,
understanding it's short time was life only lent.
Soaking into the petals that it so dearly loved,
a beautiful sound is heard from above.
It's the voices of onlookers who knew it'd come soon,
they've come for this moment to see's Spring's first bloom.
As the bloom fully opens and shows it's full color,
little jewels now show forth like diamonds asunder.
Scattered and dancing across those new petals,
the moisture's complete now and finally settles.
