Far Greater

Each small drop of rain leaves an impact.

Far Greater

By

Gabrielle Esposito

I have nothing

But I am everything to you.

I live high in the sky.

You cannot see me unless the world cries.

Yet, you need me.

You give me purpose.

I am hardly ever in your thoughts,

But I am with you everyday.

Only when the sky darkens do you look up.

I hit your skin, you flinch.

And as I fall straight to the ground

I become part of the Earth.

A part of something bigger.

Something I never thought I’d be.

Deep into the soil I am taken

Far, far away from you.

I sink, it is dark without you.

I am powerless, a mere puppet.

The soil around me becomes laden with

The essence of my brothers and sisters.

Together we slowly muddy the ground

Making it hard to step, boots squelch.

There’s not enough room for all of here.

We begin to migrate far far away

Finding ourselves finally at a rushing body

Of water that calls our names.

Together we strip our individuality

And leap into the waves.

Here, I am at peace

With the rushing current.

Here I cannot think of you.

I know I will see you again, and you will see me.

You won’t recognize my form

So it doesn’t really matter.

But without you, I am a part of something bigger.

Something I never thought I would be.

Reincarnation? But then I look below and I am spoiled! What a fool. Sorry I don't do a story and not your poems. Its just im really tired and I wanted to do this. (Making love in the afternoon with ceclia in my bedroom!)
