A Solitary Drop

A solitary drop,
the last remnant of morning dew,
dangled perilously from an acacia leaf.

barren ground,
scorched  from the relentless sun,
awaited patiently below to consume it.

As its weight gave way,
the drop slipped and fell.
Dazzling like a priceless gem,
before being lost in a wet patch of oblivion.
