by the raindrop, from an ominous sky
one by one and then a million times
first upon the redwood’s high leaf
then perhaps the fern, so far beneath,
to the ground moss that draws it nigh
drips and drops give the rotting new life
as yesterday’s fallen have come to rise,
even the fittest of creatures have needs
by the raindrop
from the puddles to the swelling height
of rivers and streams in blue and white,
the duller gray of skies that were seen
have traveled here to quench the scene
one by one as the cycle survives
by the raindrop
