I AM A DROP OF WATER

Even when i am apart from you

still i am a part of you

like a drop of water from the sea,

now rising into sky

you paint clouds with me.

Then spill me into ground.

Grow the corn and wheat

Fresh and pure and sweet 

Cool our throats,

Wash our feet.

Weep and you seep 

from my eyes 

laying holy tracks of my tears..

There is no escaping you is there?

Even when I abandon myself

and tell myself I am all alone,

 turning to you fearfully,

I see once again 

that I was never even for a moment,

 out of your sweet embrace.

In time once more, as often before,

I open again to you my friend.

I surrender and become your willing flute.

You conduct your breath through me.

You make a song of me.

I have always been an instrument of

your divine orchestration.
