Protein

Dear humans,

My life is becoming foggy now

As I rise from my home

Most of my fellow atoms stay behind

I am going towards a bright light

And I stop as I reach the peak

There are more of my twins

Joining me in my journey

Of this vicious cycle

As I am blown along

All of my family gains strength

The view from up here is beautiful

As we blow along the country side

As the family gets stronger

We line up

And we jump

Oh!

Protein

I hit a bug

I am collecting dust bits as I go

Faster and faster I go

Finally I land but wait

What's this

I landed on a little humans tongue

She must have found the protein in me

Because she spit me out

Now I'm evaporating again

Don't stick out your tongue

Or you might find the protein next time

But oh well here I go again

Signed,

Raindrop
