Waterdroplets Gives Life

Sonnet

Now lies the waterdroplet on the edge

Excess moisture wrung from the foggy air

Droplets that are somehow a reserve hedge

Drops that all the insects, birds, lizzards share

 

French Tarragon pointed leaves perfect shape

For water to collect travel down tip

Hang suspended surrounded by cloudscape

Time seems to stand still few hours 'till slip

 

Gone with the heat of the appearing sun

There for just short time so that all can drink

The sun has done a good job and you spun_

Dry as in a modern dryer in a wink

 

To all things there is a season but some short

Can some be extended_not early thwart

 

Author's Note

After viewing scene early one morn....

[An owl on the moon]

I love how you've recreated this peaceful scene for us, what your eyes beheld now we can too. There is such joy and wonder in the world around us, if we will only take moments to really open our eyes..

wonderful observations of the early morn ..

[Desert Dreamer]

Time does seem to stand still for a few moments such as this, the time of morning dew.

This is 14 lines of sweet reverie. First two verses particularly effective for me. Very Wordsworth I think! Experience is evident. Put me in mind of an impressionist painting, the first two verses. Half close your eyes and it is all so real. Yes! Very restful.
