Rain

Life,
like a
drop of
rain
sliding down
a pane of
glass.
The day
we are born,
our timeline
begins.
Slipstream of
of existence
rippling like
rain on the
move.
Weaving
to and fro,
as our timeline
extends.
Decisions
we make the
engine
that moves.
Choices
we make
determines
the ride.
End point
uncertain.
No way to
know.
Back and forth
then back again.
the rain drop
does go.
Back and forth
as the
decisions
mount up.
Swerving one
way then another
based on what
we decide.
Choose wisely
my friend,
as it will
soon come to
close.

[John the Baptist]

First time I have seen rain on a pane of glass as an analogy for life, but it is an effective one. Liked the term "slipstream of existence," and the part about how our choices affect the course of our lives. The last words serve as a somber warning. Very nice work. Only suggestion is to remove the s from determines.
