Raindrops

Raindrops is what we are
once together, assembled as one sea
collected in the spiritual heaven's clouds
  descended to this world, we fell down individually

the winds of life scattered us here and there
we met with strangers along the way

joining with friends and colliding with enemies

it would seem nature paired us up with these
 

the hard surfaces we crashed upon
were the circumstances that made us drift apart
and decided the type of water we would be
and so, we collected into new puddles of pedigrees
 

no choice in where we fell, we formed our societies

 friendships of sweet spring water and gangs of toxic basins

the sweet and salty waters do not mix

so be it, to each his own community

traveling the paths of least resistance
we will eventually meet with that same sea
and be gone as the individuals we thought we were
returning back to the substance of what we are essentially

but remember that we are raindrops
we will be summoned back to the heavens again
and join together becoming that harmonious body
the cycle continues endlessly

but this time reunited, friends and foes alike
neither sweet nor toxic but as simple, plain water
and when we are called to rain again
that is when we will truly reign free.
