The World in a Raindrop

Dangling from the rim of a leaf
Was a raindrop with a sublime sheen
Resplendently radiating a thousand rays
Midst the thick mist and haze
I gazed at it and I could see
A face which could surely be me
And then I saw the leaves and the walls
Though they were big, they looked so small
The speeding cyclist, the open windows
The shining sun, the splendid rainbow
The tilted roofs, the towering chimney
The blooming flowers, the buzzing honey bee
The floating clouds, the wet benches
The little birds, the broken fences
The grazing cattle, the vast meadows
The merry children, the lonely rose
The sleeping dogs, the billowing skirts
The honking vehicles, the trail of dust
I could see all things short and tall
All the world, contained in a raindrop so very small!
