Drops In a Bucket

drops of water slowly
fill the rusted bucket
one plink at a time.

the first one echoes
like a gong struck
in a concert hall.

the metallic sound
dies as drops fall
in a gathering pool.

it takes time and
patience, but soon
the bucket fills

to the brim
before the water
overflows

and slowly
soaks the ground
beneath.
