From Where Did I Fall

Like an iridescent drop
in a sheet of rain,
each drop pilgrim
to the porous ground,
falling to crow wing
and broad leaf madrone,
falling such distance
and still not breaking,
falling to the dark
of the long awaiting root.

    …the drop’s dedication to return to it’s ocean home. Drops fall from my eyes as I pen these words, in all humility. Now, to where do I rise, but my heavenly home.

    And falling to the dark does not break us, but strengthens us!

    Beautifully stated
    It is the root that has my attention.
    At the root it is all held.
    Love that it leaves one open to ponder our own root.

    What a beautiful way for me to hold my mother’s
    passing as I hold a vigil with my family
    for her imminent transition.
