Life falls gently,
all around me,
missing me beautifully
with each perfect drop
never touching me
never making me feel
the way it makes the rest of the world feels,
I don't mind,
I watch as it falls
and creates little puddles
on all the people I love,
wetting them
making them stick to one another,
and so I may never stick
to one person,
I can be part of them all
even if life never falls
on me
I will fall in to it
I am a clutz
and I will fall head first into it
trip and land,
and find myself right in the middle of life,
and I will stick to people
and they will stick to me
and I will be
a part of it all.
Next time it rains,
little drops of life
I will stand outside
with my mouth wide open and drink it all in.
