I am.

The Fall Before Rise

I am, I am, I am 

a small voice

rang out loud and clear

echoing

in the hollows

of a deep untouched forest

but the footsteps of humanity

crushed it's gentle sprouts

before the nourishing love

the droplet that slid

from leaves to earth

could touch the determined spirit

and flattened on the shoelaces

dropping like tears from aglets.
