What a fall!

Floating at a height
Afraid, I clutch and cling

to a sea of softness

This is my home sweet home

But I have to leave

Don’t know the time,

but the time has come

Have to let go of my grasp

A freefall tumble

with my brothers & sisters

We all fall kissing a torrent of air

The fear too enjoying the lovely weather

Downward, my flight continues

wobbling with the wind

Anxious to find, what lies ahead

when I complete this awesome ride

The end seems near

The air feels warmer

And then we all fall

softly to the ground

Hand in hand

we glide along the wet terrain

A mighty stream we have become

in which I am no more than a drop
