Dew in the Morning – Resurrection – v3

Dew in the morning
Burst my slumber, my fitful sleep
Caught me from numbness,
Unseeing eyes
Dulled senses

Forced sight, new perception
Discernment, grace
Gasp, wonderment
Out my door;
Vivid, to be seen,
Felt, experiences
As if for the first time

A silence, a stillness,
Not in the scene; but in me
Woke me more than the sun
Had stirring me from sleep

7 am and
My world awakes;
There’s dew in the morning.

Rush of rich, deep color,
Eyes drink in the snapshots, slides,
A recurring refrain -
Dew in the morning

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

A carpet of moss
Softened by the morning mist,
God’s breath
Trapped on the needles,
The hairs of each one

Small, private, spider webs
In the yard before my feet
Caught pearls of dew,
Fine tapestry, embroidery,
Outlining their maker’s artistry.

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

New birch leaves
Are ever greener.
Their skin and veins
More animated
in the warm-morning light

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

Panes of mica in the stones,
The granite underfoot
Hold a special sheen.
Reflecting the warming light

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