A Single Drop, an original poem

A single drop smooths through cracked wood

          Lost from view as it whittles away. 

Unassumed, unaware, unrenowned.  

Wind tousled trees look down

          Watching drops form puddles.

Collect, concise, control.

The single drop remains.

          Untouched. Unformed.

 

The gathered drops beacon.  

          Coerce.  Compel.

Yet the single drop moves.

          Untempted, unbothered, untroubled.  

While lakes and ponds grumble.

          Contend, conceal, contest.  

 

Gathered voices will not compel.

          The single drop avoids the spell.

~ Sarah Stufflebeam

P.S.  Just a quickie little poem.  Sat down at the computer with no idea of what to write, and then this happened.  I know some of the words used are not dictionary recognized, so they're used out of sure spite.
