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.
