NaPoWriMo day 2....Reconsider

Reconsider

In your death bed,
you perish slowly 
like morning dew.

You either slide down a blade of grass,
your limbs now too heavy to perch 
on its thin serrated leaf,

or you wait for the sun 
to turn you into a mirage
to dissipate into the heat.

But shouldn't you 
gather more of yourself, 
each drop rolling into another,
to form a new body of water?
