The juxtaposition here, with the repeated “c”-sounds: “piece of concentrated cloud” and I’m imagining hard concrete as the raindrop glints, falling in my mind and on the picture…

A drop that collected,

held within it pieces of all things

moving by,

oblivious to the beauty

of what happens when Mother Earth cries.

You are so sweet, I enjoy talking with you and reading your work. I am currently just writing the random poem here and there. Maybe one of these weekends we can pick a theme together and play around with some lines or a short

Should you ever wish to work on something, you know where I am.

Within each drop is the possibility of life.

Floating, invisible, and inert.

Water is the foundation of all life.

We contain it, a gift from the Mother to her children,

Every fiber in our body, replete with it, precious, life.

But still, we would shed our most precious part,

For another, in tears of sorrow for their leaving

Or tears of joy for their return.

For whom would you shed?

I wrote a note about sparks and tinder earlier.

There are people here who spark my mind. As each reaches out I let them know they are a spark, someone I enjoy ‘talking’ with.

You are a spark. So as you walk through the day, doing whatever you have to do, however boring, and think ‘I might not like doing this, but at least I am spark!’

Any time you want to collaborate, happy to do so, if you have a project or an idea for one.
