A gentle drop of dew
Slowly starts to form
Condensed on God’s breath
Kindly and warm
It enters the eternal mighty sea
Where currents ebb and flow
Brittle strands of sunshine
Battered to and fro
For a tiny fragment of time
A diamond shines
Secured it seems
On flimsy fishing nets lines
Facets finite but fine
Lacy seams
Filter the light
Life’s fleeting dreams
And then without a sound
Reflected like a moon
It subsides
So soon, so soon
Even so
Like a gentle drop of dew
There’s nothing as beautiful and precious
As you
