A dropp of dew can enliven
the thirsty buds
can cause a new life
can create a reason.

A dropp of dew can drown
a village, flood a country
can cause tears
can push a people.

A dropp of dew can dry up
the sky, can make clouds
can thicken fogs
can blind the people
can end the reason.

Note: Publsihed in Muse India, May-Jun 2009.
