There is a lot of action going on with this one... the usage of the senses to bring this to life... the first few lines got my attention... carries you through the body... and the end:
But what I hate to see
Is the sight of the droplet falling off its leaf...
The dew drop has a very ephemeral existence my friend. Till it's on the top of a leave, it could be taken for a diamond, reflecting all colors of the rainbow.l Once dropped it is just a bit of lowly moisture mingled in earth, bereft of all it's glory. Love and hope are like that too....
Like a Zen reflection. The individual drop losing its identity. I like this a lot. P.

Hope is what keeps us the strength to keep going in tough times... I hate seeing the drop falling of the leaf too cause there is nothing worse then losing all hope.
Spectacular poem.

Thank you Dale..wise words of wisdom from you again :)
I see the connection between peace in the natural world, represented by the water droplet, and how it affects the viewer. As long as the drop hangs where it is, the viewer is peaceful. There is possibility that the drop will stay there, or at least travel to a promising place. However, the fall of the drop thrown all of that into doubt and disorder. A nice little drop of insight here in this piece.
