When I see raindrops I think of people. Just wanted to share my poetic vision on raindrops symbolizing a person's life. (Most of my poems were written as a child/teen, over the years, I've edited/updated and uploaded onto AuthorsDen.) Actually I started this poem by accident, during one of my general science classes, I was trying to visually understand the lifecycle of rain, the condensation process. I ended up simplifying it by thinking of raindrops as peoples lifecycles.

Raindrops sleeping in a cloud Breathing ocean’s vapor Eating ocean’s salt Growing steadily strong With storms and winds Bursting with love Becoming precious gifts From sky to earth Nourishing grass and trees And plants and flowers Pouring in oceans, lakes and rivers Celebrating life Tap dancing on window panes Singing with the wind Before falling to the ground As sunshine dries the air And raindrops disappear Sprinkling rainbows Flying back to the sky Forming new clouds For another raindrop day :) Gloria Buono (c) 2005
