The little rain drops,
That gently befell,
All over me-
I tried to hold them in,
Captured in my palm.
Leaking away,
The droplets fell,
All the way down-
Along my feet,
And the earth soaked it in.
Softened mud,
It pulled me in,
And pooled in, I stood-
How could the few droplets,
Shake my grounds, ruin my faith?
The rain lashed on,
No fury, no rage,
Yet, a constant pace-
And I stood, knee deep,
Soaked in the dampen soil.
Arms open,
The rain cleansing me off,
I waited, for the sun drops-
To rinse me off, warm my soul,
And wait for the solid mud to crack-
To let me free,
To let my anchor not waver,
To have my feet firm, on the ground...
