Droplets of water, filled my window pane,

Together, the droplets slipped away,

Meandering in determination to join its peers;

Bright light blinded my vision for a moment,

And the fog lifted,

The weather returned to its buoyant nature again.

The sun, now smiling at the droplets’ formation,

That they so eagerly hurried, to unite with.

A sense of foreboding dawned upon them,

Fear of dissolving away, without a trace;

The puddles get absorbed by the drainage,

To bond with their dear departed,

Who lie tainted, in an unbeknown gulley.

Now, perhaps, the droplets reflect

At their friends, who wisely stayed behind,

Hanging on to the window pane;

Soon, they will rejoin the pure rain clouds

And will be rewarded for their acumen.
