Drops of Rain

We are 
drops of rain 
in an ever expanding 
universe1, 
some drops 
fall in deserted islands,
some drops 
terraform the martian seas2, 
some drops
fall in an attempt to liberate us,
some drops 
touch our sulfidic depths3, 
some drops 
fall madly in love
to seed the earth,
flower it, shower it
with embraces, tears, 
potions, rainbows
that extend our lives 
in an unsung complexity 
as aquariums of dreams
until it is time to return 
to the skies as rain,
again as rain, again 
as rain, again as rain, 
as rain we are
drops of rain 
in an ever expanding 
consciousness
as rain, as rain, as rain
carries us away, 
away, away, away
