Dew in the Morning - v2

It is 7 am

And the world awakes.

There’s dew in the morning

covering the world.

Every tip of the serrated

Wild strawberry leaves is gilded

With a morning’s tear;

The crown of each green

Blueberry clutches

A single dewdrop.

The carpet of moss is softened

By the morning’s mist.

Small spider webs in the

Lawn hold pearls of liquid gems,

Outlining their maker’s artistry.

New birch leaves

Are never greener.

Miniature panes of mica in

The granite underfoot

Hold a special sheen;

The world is brighter

When there is

Dew in the morning.
