Raindropular Patterns

by induce

Dishing out soaked Spring lilies, all with
a taste of glistening sunshine,
Electric, humane,
'Stroboscopic' resonances,

All patterned on the inside of a raindrop
circumnavigating its' inner circumference,
so smooth and contained,

Such a minute and delicate ecosystem,
galaxies forming and reforming,
in fragments of shiny liquid surfaces,

a thousand light years just to drop and splatter,
and create a thousand, upon a thousand anew,
with a newly developing and highly acclaimed human stew.
