Raindrops on a petal

I watch you through the cracks in my venetian

As you skillfully take your seat once again

Upon that vibrant petal

As it longingly awaits each drop of rain

Your splendour enhanced by the rays of the sun

Is what fuses both you and the petal as one

That thirsty petal will not swallow you up

But it allows you to rest in its care

As its hues gently caress you

This alliance will make you a salient pair.

I watch you through the cracks in my venetian

And others as they fall as a drizzle

Their fight is to make their journeys end

The same as you and your vibrant friend.
