What is perfect

sorenbarrett

Perfection a dew drop, a crystal ball with a magnifying top
Its surface a rainbow shows endless colors without stop
Transparent, life giving, forgiving, bends but doesn't break
Born on wings of night, pearls in sun's light, wash nature's eyes awake

Manna from heaven, nature's bread leaven, a baptism that glistens
Cleansed of night's death, in misty morning's  breath, to a choir of drops listens
Creeping into the ground without a sound to its place of birth
Each path taken just to reawaken, trapped in a cycle on this earth

        Thank you David for your review and kind words of support. Where I am every morning even in the driest summers there is dew that may soon disappear after the sun raises.

            Thus, the dew's journey started from the earth, went up to the clouds, fell to earth and returns up. It is indeed a cycle. A cycle that is vital for many living creatures.

                    • Tristan Robert Lange

                      It's funny, because I can almost imagine this is what God saw looking down following Creation and saying, "It is good.". The way the earth nourishes itself and sustains the cycles of birth, life, death, rebirth...awe-inspiring! As is this poem. Perfect in my book and a fave. 🌹👏
