A Single Drop

A single drop Upon the ground A jewel so thick Pure and deep A trembling lip Seen by dark eyes A single drop Upon the ground A touch so icy It freezes the heart A hand relaxed Lay open A single drop Upon the ground A shining ball Falling to the grass A moment till It lies still A single drop Upon the ground A hand goes up To the mouth A still soul But pure and deep A single drop Upon the ground A lost thought Of love and peace Charlotte Morris Mrs. Cope VI English Second Draft February 6, 2007 The Swan Poem A last look To the solemn A single drop Upon the ground A field so empty Yet so full A memory rises Above the hill A single drop Upon the ground A single drop To remind us A single drop From the broken soul A single drop Filled with passion A single drop Upon the ground A war still won A life still lost A color bright A moment still A cross put there To remind us of A single drop Upon the ground
