Drip, drip, drip—
The leaking kitchen faucet,
Dripping, dripping, dripping
Drops of water to ping
In the porcelain sink?
Annoying, destructive to your peace.
Can you taste it?
Drip, drip, drip—
The ice cream cone,
Dripping, dripping, dripping
Drops of melting confection
To catch with a lick?
Sweetness on the tongue.
Can you feel them?
Drip, drip, drip—
Tears from your eyes,
Dripping, dripping, dripping
Drops of joy or sorrow
That roll down your cheeks?
Unbidden release of emotion.
Can you see them?
Drip, drip, drip—
Rays of sunshine,
Dripping, dripping, dripping
Through the canopied leaves
To make patterns on the earth.
Beautiful reflections.
Can you smell it?
Drip, drip, drip—
Percolator on the counter,
Dripping, dripping, dripping
Rich bold coffee
Into the carafe below?
Jump-start for the day.
Can you sense it?
Drip, drip, drip—
Grace from God above,
Dripping, dripping, dripping
Wonderful blessings
Into your heart and life?
Unmerited favor.
