A drop

sorenbarrett

Drop of water held together so cohesively
bonds of strength shattered by a fall
Droplets now cling adhesively
infinitesimally small

They slide down slopes joining together
forming new drops on their way
Drawn as if by a tether
group unity on display

Forming rivulets they grow as streams
joining others becoming a river
filling a lake now that teems
to ocean, original giver

              Water can flow. Water can crash. Be water, my friend.
              (Words by Bruce Lee).

                Thank you so much for the read and comment it means a lot. Yes Bruce Lee echos the words of Lao Tzu Be like water "water is the softest and most yeilding substance. Yet nothing is better than water, for overcomming the hard and rigid, because nothing can compete with it.

                    oooh, "Droplets now cling adhesively
                    infinitesimally small" is just magic. "to ocean, original giver" isn't bad either. You continue to better yourself.
