Dew drops

dew drop clings to a spiring stem

spherical lens magnifies

nano-scenes within the grass

shivers in a morning breeze

sun yawns over the eastern rim of the bowl of life 

overflows

spilling holiness across

a waking world

 the drops respond

joyfully

jesus bids them shine

with a pure clear light

like ten thousand diamonds

dancing in delight

do dew drops reflect on themselves?

do they wonder at the wonder

of condensing out of nothing

the miracle of water vapour 

invisible becoming fluid

magnifying the glory of dawn

and then evaporating

back into invisible ether?

is it better not to know these things?

just to be for a being moment?
