Droplets on Green Leaves

So many tiny glass-like beads
gathered along each outstretched leaf
reminding us of our precious connection
to all the waters of the world in which we live

Each one is but a delicate natural mirror-ball
in which we find ourselves waiting patiently
to be shaken loose from our attachments
and separated state of beingness

We water droplets yearn to be shaken,
to be cast off from our perches, to reach the earth
where we can be absorbed by Mother Earth
and fulfill our roles as a source of precious hydration

Our natural loving expression of wetness
in this arid world of voided presence
cries out to all living beings
to come and quench their thirst.
