What If

What if there was an oak

Standing tall

Towering and strong

In the forest

What if there were a raindrop

Sliding easily down a mushroom

Under the oak

Landing softly on the moss below

What if an ant came by

For a sip of water from that drop

And then waited under the mushroom

For the shower to let up

What if I sat quietly on the moss

Careful not to disturb

The oak

The moss

The mushroom

The ant

Nor even the drop

And what if we called it

A perfect afternoon
