stars in sky or rain on glass?

I came across this photo "stars in sky or rain on glass?" ... I think its a really cool concept. Got me pondering and lines for a poem just started popping into my head!

It made me think about a poem I'd read in San Francisco (can't think of the author!) about how a raindrop will carry the memories of its journey from being in a mountain cloud, to going down a river to the ocean and back up to the clouds in the mountains. Made me think that even though a water drop may be just a tiny thing it could have come from a massive ocean, which is part of a world that is so tiny compared to all the stars! I suppose the theme of the poem is to challenge perceptions and reality; the moral of the poem is that however small we are its important to make the most of whats around us (which for me is through learning, photography and poetry).

Here is the picture and the poem in response (I decided to challenge myself and make every line have exactly 14 syllables and to all rhyme) ...

Reality … the simple expression of perception …
What you believe helps you perceive an altered reflection.
The mundane can become insane in magnification,
Even a rain drop, in a world of its own creation.

A tiny drop, perhaps born from a majestic ocean,
Twinkles in a flash, as if spellbound by a magician.
No less beautiful than a star in a constellation.
Equally, rightfully, admired with fascination.

We are mere droplets to any star in comparison,
A microscopic speck of the tiniest formation!
Mind-blowing, even for the wildest imagination.
Makes life feel unreal, a world of dust in animation.

A droplet could drown this dust …or …sprinkle motivation
A fine balance between hope, fear, faith and inspiration
So gaze up, peek through, delve in … explore with admiration
Get that thirsty dust sparkling bright … without hesitation!
