Droplets

I liken you to the rain.

For just as its thousand droplets

Bring splendor to the lands,

So your unceasing shower of love

captivates my soul.   


I liken you to the rain.

For just as the water-speckled windowpane

And the dewy flowers

Are the its work of art,

So you have made a masterpiece of my 

Once broken heart

With the dew of your sweet words.


I liken you to the rain.

For just as the strong rainstorm

Destroys the Earth's prestilences,

So your words of wisdom

Destroy the multitude of evils that

Run wild in my mind.


Just as the rain is but a thousand droplets,

So I am blessed to have you as my rain.


The author's comments:

I wrote this piece for a school assignment last year. The objective of the assignment was to write a poem relating and element of nature to an emotion. In "Droplets," rain is being compared to the various forms of love that two people might have for each other.
