rain

as the rain falls
does it know
the river beds
it will tumble over
is there an understanding
of a future, seeping,
slow, through
soil and rock bed
does the rain wait
in anticipation
of the gathering
into the salt infused
great waters

and we ...
do we understand
the journey
as we clutch
the guaranteed pure
deep mountain spring
plastic packaged
rain
