A brief contrast with rain

As nature's self a part, we both are form
Woven by the force which your bound ordains
And empowers you to overpower gravity
And survive your recurrent deaths.
As dawn, you leap over the void to reach
The stillness that moves above
Whence you descend to give growing things life.
Though you live out your life of service,
The turmoil of thunder and lightning
Is manifest order as no passionate warmth
Or sublimity raises its head in your heart.
Child like you do not understand the meaning
Of your own prattle of drip, drop, drip, drip.
Mine is acquainted with duality
And the internal pathos of conscious life.
Though my origin remains clay and desire,
Free of the limits of time
I could see beyond seeing itself
To reach and feel within the breast
As the warmth of earth gropes for roots
Of flawless origin.
