' One Drop Of Liquid So Heavy... ' Poem by MoonBee Canady

There Is One Drop Of Liquid So Heavy
It Bears Down Crystal Clear
But It Carries The Weight Of Every
Color and Cause Of Fear

Just One Small Drop Of Liquid
Can Hurl Down Here Or Near
Those Overcast Must Risk It …
It Is The Lone Drop Of A Tear

The One Drop Of Liquid So Heavy
It Has Crushed Over A Million Souls
Just One Drop Of Liquid So Heavy
Can Burn Through The Strongest Hold

It Springs Into Wells Of Sorrow
Bows Down The Weeping Willows
Even Trickles From Eyes Tightly Closed
Sending Ocean-Wide Reach Of Arrows

Just One Drop Of Liquid So Heavy
Should Be Shed In Privacy
But Sometimes It Falls So Quickly
It Hits Us Unexpectedly

The Strength Of It Damply Lays
Like A Water-Bucket Of Woe
Holding The Hurt Of Your Heart Today
And Its Hopelessness Tomorrow

Trying To Rise From Depths So Mighty
The Pressure So Painful Can Squeeze …
One Drop Of Liquid So Heavy
Can Bend You To Your Knees

Weighs A Torrential Ton Of Wavy
River Drops Streaming Down
Cause One Drop Of Liquid So Heavy
Feels Like Each One Drop Could Drown

… But Wait, There Is A Secrecy
Of This Heavy Moistness That Pools
One Drop Of Liquid So Heavy
Is Also A Cleansing Tool …

Just One Drop To Dilute Poison
One Drop Of Concentrated Grief
Just One Drop And A Valve Opens
To A Needed Dripping Relief

One Drop of This Heavy Potion
One Drop Of Wet-Gravity
Is Really A Soothing Fountain
From A Source That Still Feels Free

One Drop Of Liquid So Heavy
God Said Use This Irrigation
‘Til One Drop Of Liquid So Heavy
May Lift Us To Transpiration

So Let It Go and Let It Flow
Let It Rest Upon Our Faces
Let Those One Drops Of Liquid Show
To Cover All Bitter Bases

In The Long and Lonely Hours
Just One Drop Has Healing Powers
It Can Float Away Terror-Towers
Even Freshen Life When It Sours

One Drop Of Liquid So Heavy
One Drop Of A Thunderstorm
One Drop Of Liquid So Heavy
The Weight Of The World Is In One …

One Drop Of Liquid So Heavy
Need One Drop Of Battering-Balm
One Drop Of Fluid, Finally
Let It Come Lord and Let It Calm …
