Droplet

Little droplet your time is near, never fear, be part of it. Fall into the great ocean your conscious way, unconscious stay, Nature's final notion. Lean back let it go, it happens so, embrace the black. Droplet make a tiny splash. Whisper in your Bardo ear, till you're no longer here, and flesh turns to simple ash. So sleep little droplet, how sweet the dew. To love it and live it and to start anew.

This has a strong Buddhist reference but at the same time has meaning for us all in different layers. The quintilla rhyme pattern is modified to couplet to give it a rebirth twist at the close. Thanks so much for kind, cogent commentary.
