Dew in the Morning – Resurrection – v4




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

Forced sight, perception
Discernment,
Gasp, brilliance
Wonderment, shimmering

Out my side door
Vivid, to be seen,
Felt, to be taken in
to be understood

A silence, a stillness,
Not in the scene; but within me
Awakened me more
Than the sun had stirring my sleep

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

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

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

A carpet of moss
Softened, deepened
By the morning mist,
God’s breath
Trapped on the needles, hairs
On every fiber

Small, private, spider webs
Before my feet
Caught pearls of dew,
A fine lace tapestry
Outlining their maker’s artistry

Every tip of the jaw-toothed
Wild strawberry leaves is gilded
With a morning’s tear

New birch leaves
Are ever greener
Their skin and veins
More animate

The crown of each mint-green
Blueberry clutches,
Caresses, cherishes,
Lovingly, gently holding
A single living dewdrop

Panes of mica in the
Granite underfoot
Hold a special sheen,
Reflecting the warming light

My world is brighter,
Vivid, and I am alive
When there is
Dew in the morning.
