Water Drop

A water drop falls
earthbound
from a nubilous sky,
finding temporary shelter
upon a blade of grass;
until the scorching sun
carries it once again
to the heavens...

It falls
upon a passerby who
mumbles a curse
to the coming rain...

And once the skies have wept
it rests upon some growing thing.

A boy arrives
and
falling
to his knees,
his eyes behold
and capture in his soul
the depth and width and breadth
of the Universe
inside this tiny entity.
