Replying to a comment on:

the small drop (Free verse) by richa

Water, runs off the gutters onto sodden stone borders, a small drop hangs from long grass like the wet wax on a candle and it is this small drop that the gods long look down on through the glass house of this earth, and weigh from every angle as though they were a sunlight.

A drop of water could be in a number of states of motion; one could be dropping every few seconds, one could be hugging the tip.

The wax on a candle is more the latter.

Would I compare a drop on a candle to a drop on a leaf? (mutatis mutandis)

only if I wanted the wax to be silver!?
