Dewdrop

The cool air is moist at night

While the earth releases its warmth at night

The humidity in the air forms beads of dew

Sometimes a lot and sometimes few

The early morning sun peeps over the horizon

The earth seems to be washed anew all the way to the horizon

The dew glistens across the grass

It trembles on the blades of grass

Flowers have blossomed as spring strides in

Various purples from Wisteria to Jacarandas are in

The many shades of roses are in the garden

The sweet perfumes of flowers in the garden

A ray of light falls on the soft petals

The clear drops of dew shine on the petals

The translucent drop of water trembles in the breeze

The reflections in that drop also sway in the breeze

 As light refracts through the dew

A small rainbow comes to view

The back drop of white petal for the rainbow

Shows of the colours of the rainbow

A gentle breeze blows and the dew trembles

It rolls to the edge of the petal and trembles

I look at it with baited breath

The beauty of the dewdrop takes away my breath

The motion continues and the dewdrop falls of the petal

On to the brass pot

Now it shines gold like the pot

Sliding down the smooth surface

Racing to be absorbed in the earthy surface
