Rain

A single drop
heralds rain
drop upon drop upon drop again
Ribbons down windows
a relentless sea
puddles where puddles just shouldn't be
ripples across
the puddles made
spash upon spash a watery cascade 
and cascades join
rivules create
stream upon stream never to abate
the howling wind
the rain it blows
rain upon rain sideways goes
streams make rivers
rivers flow
water upon water where does it all go?
Rivers to floods
floods all around
water upon water soaking the ground!

The butterfly's wing
can a great storm awake
as drop upon drop a great flood can make
