Anthony Di'anno - Raindrops

Forgetful children dancing through green leaves,
Sliding and wriggling free from petal'd skirts,
Jumping down from each branch and stem that weaves,
Ripples where loud whispering water spurts,

Into rough scoured ginnels and hollowed halls,
That funnel progress between each section,
Negotiating burst dams and steep falls,
Declaring the flotsom from the jetsom,

So becoming part of a potent force,
Equipped to nourish life or drown it's dreams,
Seeking their way back home from source to source,
Ascending from puddles, seas lakes and streams,

Remembering the reason that they came,
Until they fall once more as drops of rain.

Anthony Di'anno
