Thirsting For Freedom

Thirsting for freedom
The frantic raindrops
Fell, right in front of me!

Slapping the arid ground
Filling the gasping cracks
Zigzagging their way
Down the sandy creek bed
Bubbling into the welcoming river
And merrily streaming out to sea

Now, the raindrops are free
That was the wilderness
This is their sea
