While the sun shone obscurely through the clouds
Upon those who beneath my window played
I saw it rained
They fell pounding on the ground
And one by one gave up their moisture
Soon there were puddles everywhere to be found
Whose glassy surface was broken
A hundred times over!
By the water drops crashing!
Leaving behind as a token
Rings expanding in a perfect circle
With nothing in the center but a ripple
Rings touching rings,
Leaving their mark as they vanish
Great is that one that touches many
Greater yet is the one that touches few
And leaves them shaken
To begin anew.
