Painting with a brush filled with dew – v2

a breath of morning, dew droplets,
appearing before us at our waking,
a dance of beads of water, jewels,
rimming, edging, covering leaves,
kissing countless flower petals…
 
each droplet of dew placed precisely,
not coincidence, graced by the Creator,
pearls breathed, a prayer of abundance,
painting with a brush filled with dew,
a feast for our eyes to share…
 
liquid glass, pearls, like melted sugar,
dabbed, dew brushed on each petal,
wet, unlike Jack Frost’s confection,
cold, in another time, a season,
when blossoms do not exist…
 
living flesh sprayed by droplets,
a repeating pattern, precision,
frozen for us in our memory,
an infinite number of tears,
stars, brushed on each petal…
