I Am

A lone drop of rain descends from its parent on high
It comes to rest in a shallow stream and the
stream flows
As the one moves into rivers, into seas,
into oceans; the infinite companions are
affected: some accept, some consume.
The heavenly article touches all, the single
drop manifests into an ocean of harmonious movement.
In all of its divine splendor and natural
power it declares
I am!
