Confessions of a raindrop...

i am a raindrop running down a glass-pane
overlooking a thousand lakes beneath
my frenzied fall...a quotidian event to the creatures crooning inside
some glued to boxes with bright pictures flashing by
some just chatting away...some painfully shy
some wearing a forlorn expression
as if it had been this way forever...and will be evermore
but one i noticed out of them all..who witnessed ever so closely...my dramatic fall

in my race towards the ever-welcoming earth

i saw the longing in those eyes
desire...desire to be as reckless as me
if nothing but free

how ironic i felt 

since i myself am governed by gravity!
it is not by choice that i fall in abandon
neither am i as free as one perceives me to be
my descent is a thing of beauty nonetheless
the rush towards my destiny...into a warm embrace from where i shall rise once more..
to paint the endless skies with rainbows galore
so i willed the one who had a shine in her eyes

to embrace what lies ahead and break free of the ties 

to embrace the smoldering desire...to be free...since freedom lies in the way you see..

to become the reckless raindrop she imagined me to be.....
