One drop breathes life into a million more...
Paving the way for it's own offspring,
Soaring above the surface of all they've known.

One drop pulls the plug on a billion more...
Like the argon in a lightbulb,
That dies in it's self...
So does this little droplet.

I stood looking at the puddle,
And stepped in it with my clogs.
Feeling a little remorse,
But allowing a million drops to experience
Life.

I like puddles. I was jumping in them just the other night. Unfortunately my work uniform got soaked. Oops. I really like the way you write. You keep me intrigued.

I sorta got the first part as like conception of a child. and then the second stanza as aborting, but maybe i was wrong.
Overall good imagery
