The Shape of the Rains

have you seen
the tender droplets
of
a fresh rain
trying hard
very hard
to
hold onto the skin
of
the foliage

but
does it really matter
does it matter how hard did they try
does it matter how dear did they love
does it matter how intense did they desire
does it matter how big did they dream

in the end
does any of it all matter


falling is inevitable
