The Real Story Of A Raindrop Poem by Javier Falcon

Around this particle of dust I have formed...
being fed by the mere light around,
a warmth provided from far above,
formed by the love the sun bears.

Yet not all is heaven,
as others have formed around me,
being not so friendly as I,
just looking away when I wave.

All alone, as it begins to get dark around,
and large flashes of light wake me,
trembling in the comfort of my spec,
feeling so far away from everyone else.

Thus I decide to dive toward reality,
far away from my hostile environment,
falling among the gray layers around me,
yet so alone in my long trip.

Avoiding those in the darkness around,
until the area clears up and I feel the wind,
as I am blown away from this area,
no longer falling as I was before.

Even so then I see you in the distance,
heading toward the place I was going,
down to where all problems are resolved,
on that moment I began to fall for you.

Seeing that even though,
you were the identical to me,
you were unique at the same time,
as your shine filled my emptiness.

I admired you from the distance,
You never noticed me until the last moment,
The moment which I went all out for you,
And at that last moment…

I gave you a great hug,
Wrapped my whole being around you,
and with that finally you noticed me,
as this was the first step toward love.

Leading us to finally hit reality,
With each other’s life splashing,
You shared your whole life with me,
Showing me that after all I was not to fall alone.
