A few drops of water

Just a few drops of water

Circles within circles,
meeting, splitting,
breaking open
each other
like rings on the water.
Each one
giving shape to the others.
Only—
just a few drops
a bit of wind
or rain and sun,
to let loose a wave,
shape a cloud…
give a tear in the eye.
Only one single drop
or just few
to make these waters
boiling and seething
with life.
