TINY TUESDAY - LETTING GO

The tiny droplet clung on…..
Knowing 
     that to fall 
          was to abandon itself 
               to the abyss 
                    and lose 
                         its identity. 
Alone
     or
          Together?
A decision
     that would affect
          its very life
               and
                    existence. 
Suddenly
     it all became 
          too much
               and it surrendered
Willingly.....
Dropping
     down
          down
               down......
Into oblivion
     merging with 
          others waiting
               to welcome 
                    a newcomer. 
Suddenly there was 
     Power
          Strength 
               and 
                    Security
In being part of 
     something 
          much bigger
And the tiny droplet 
     wondered why 
          it had been so afraid
               to let go. 

Sometimes I feel like that!
