We are like rain

Suspended in the clouds

Waiting for the moment together

To fall back to earth

Some of us fall slower or faster

Or are carried by gusts

Others make big impacts

And there are those

Of a gentler nature

Like a drizzle or a mist

From heaven we gestate

Coalesce

Become a vapor to form

Homogeneous drops

We fly

We fall

With the wind, lightning

And thunder

Like rain
