Drops

The drops descend
one by one
markedly,
deliberately,
with benevolence.

And trust to be received
wholeheartedly,
by one who dares to love.

The drops descend
one by one
easing the way open
markedly,
deliberately.

To prepare the one
for the torrent
of grace yet to come.

The drops descend
one by one
to compose
one’s tears
of love
in kind.
