(The rainy season has just come forth and every morning I see a few awesome dew desperately hanging on for dear life only to be dried up later and vanished as the sun lords over the earth. I thought of immortalizing the morning dew through a poem).
You are to the leaf a magic crystal Embedded like gem on a pedestal Indeed you are the precious gem That adds beauty to the leaf and stem
I wonder if you were sent from above By One who fills the world with love To remind mortals nothing is forever That everything returns to the Giver
How I wish I could touch you And bring you close to the bayou But there’s no use hoping and chasing Loving does not always mean possessing
If only you can hang on forever If only you can be more clever If only you can bear the sunlight You will forever be my delight
