A raindrop hit the dry cracked earth
and found it had no purchase
as did the seed blown on the dry wind to land
just a few feet away.
lightning threw its flame upon the forest
the forest alongside the river
and ran out of purpose.
some words reached me saying
"Every thing has a purpose."
Not true. Turning back,
withering away, dying off.
Maybe that's the point...

UnderYourSpellover 12 years agoGlad you are back to submitting, think 'nor' would work better in the third line 1st stanza instead of 'as did'
Maria2394over 12 years agoI love poems about wind and rain and purpose. We may never know our own purpose, much less that of a raindrop, past the obvious.
I perhaps would rework the third line of the first stanza, other than that, it is a beauty. I enjoy reading you, sweet Boo.
