The Transformation home

The Transformation home H₂O

I am a raindrop falling to earth,

I have been falling since birth.

A cloud is my mother 

and the sun is my father.

away from them I am falling further,

along  side of me, another raindrop is calling me brother.

Into a river I plunge  to what I think is my destination.

I quickly become friends with all around with little hesitation.

I am now part of something as a whole yet feel set apart,

between the rocks and among the roots I swiftly dart,

I am in a river and play my part.

In the swiftness I struggle to swim my own way,

in the current, it`s very ruff I must say.

As I leap from a waterfall my name is changed to mist,

as I am falling, I feel the sun, it`s my father`s kiss.

I land in a pool in the river so calm and serein, 

I have time to reflect on all the beauty I have seen,

this is the time that I finally feel at peace and clean.

The calmness is short-lived and the river pulls me on,

just like that.... the peace is gone.

I pass over rocks some ruff and some slick, 

I pass by trash that makes me sick.

I am beginning to forget I am a raindrop at all,

as I encounter another waterfall.

this time I scream to my mother the cloud,

"Why did you let me go !!!", I scream out loud.

The constant movement is almost more then I can bare,

I was once a raindrop... this river is not fair.

I knew not what I carried as my destiny begins to unfold,

I pass through the mouth and over the gills of a fish so cold, 

I brought the oxygen for life and now I feel so beautiful and bold.

I found my destiny in this river so wild and fast,

I am part of a whole called water and no longer an outcast.

I long for the day my father turns me into vapor,

now my mother and I can once again be together, 

where I will once again hug and love her.
