A drop at a time

By beamish

I see my life a drop at a time 
Some words
A song 
A brilliant flash of light

Yes  there are days when the bucket overflows
The tears bubble with God's rejuvenating waters 

Sadness for the moment steals the sun from my eyes

But with time the rainbows of my mind shine 
The pot of gold glows just waiting to be spent 
 
The tears clear and a meteor shower of brilliance follows  

In these moments of grandeur I'm like a child in the snow 

I close my eyes and open my mouth wide 
Catching the sparks of heaven on my tongue 

Letting them burn deep into the pleasure sensors of my mind 

Sizzling time and life itself

A drop at a time
Life should never be more 

So close your eyes and let your windows blow open   

A storm is brewing just beyond your set limits

A drop at a time 
A word 
A song 
An entire lifetime

    Yes it does sum it all up. Now if I can just obey my own words and live it. Thank you as always
