Dew in the Morning – Resurrection – v2

 Dew in the morning
Burst my slumber, my stupor,
the coma of my sleep.
The sunrise caught me
from numbness,
From unseeing eyes
Dulled senses.

Forced sight, perception
Discernment, an audible gasp,
In wonderment, sunrise,
Out my door
Vivid, to be seen,
Felt, to be understood

A silence, a stillness,
not in the scene; but in me
awoken in me more
than the sun had stirring my sleep.

It is about 7 am
And my world awakes.
There’s dew in the morning
covering the world.

A rush of rich, deep color
My eyes drink in the snapshots, slides,
The recurring refrain -
“Dew in the morning”.

Allowing me to see
All of nature, the morning,
Alive then, as they had been all along
Whispering a secret
Through my new sight

The carpet of moss is softened
By the morning mist,
By God’s breath
Trapped on the needles, hairs

Tiny, private, spider webs
Before my feet, in the lawn,
Caught gems, pearls of dew,
a fine tapestry
Outlining their maker’s artistry.

Every tip of the serrated
Wild strawberry leaves is gilded
With a morning’s tear.

New birch leaves
Are never greener.
Their skin and veins
More animated.

The crown of each green
Blueberry clutches,
Caresses, holds,
Lovingly, gently
A single living dewdrop.

Miniature panes of mica in the
The granite underfoot
Hold a special sheen,
Reflecting the warming light

My world is brighter,
More vivid,
And I am more full alive
When there is
Dew in the morning.
