The astray drop

 


 

On the wild rocks

Beside a flowing brook

In her zeal with the flow

She finds herself astray

Only because she is no more

A part of the wayward throng.

Rooted to the black rock

She forgoes the impending treasures

While the sun entices her

With the assurance of a cloud

And freedom from the fetters

But she loves her destiny

The dew of the silvery spell

The pearl of the sparkling night

She need not await the union

With the treasured ocean

Her grace is her jewel

And the reflection of the stars

In the sheen of her dream filled eyes

Is the dazzling diamond she carries

All the time of grayness and thereafter .

She also embraces the dazzle of day

To waltz with the sun around the ticking hours

Her smile under all circumstances of life

Makes sorrow  surrender eventually

Though when she reaches the peaks

The touch of a wayward nectar filled cloud

Leaves an astray drop in her eye.
