raindrops on the window

so often we look up 
hoping to catch a glimpse of the shiny heavens we've been told so much about
but instead
we should look into the small things
the reflections in each and every raindrop
as they cling to the glass prison that lets the light in 
but keeps me confined to this thought-heavy room
we should look for the beauty they sing to us about
in the faces of our families
and the imperfect balance of this upset world.
