Drip.
Its cold outside,
leaves fall, crumble
under weight of raindrops
as lakes spill over.
Drop.
Feet freeze,
hair dampens, lips turn blue.
Unbearable is the grey
rim covering the sky.
Unbearable is the damp earth
sinking in with each step.
Drip.
But at the end
of each drop,
haze parts the sky,
leaves turn green,
water turns to life.
Beauty is the nature,
the water, the drips
and drops
That give us the gift of life
