Mourning Dew
It sits, still 
 Not white, not gray, but the glistening translucent façade, 
 Of a tear, gliding gently down a soft cheek
 It’s recent home, the blade, greenest green
 Though not with envy 
 Echoing Rebirth, renewal
 
 The blade shakes, rattling the gem of morning mist
 It quivers, threatening its decent 
 Down, Down, Gone
 Lost forever it would be
 But alas, strength does prevail
 The attraction is too great to let die
 The web of smaller beads, holding dearly, tightly
 Not willing to let go just yet
 
 It is coming
 It will come
 The end
 Down to the depths, or up to the sky
 Nothing can stop it
 The cool of morning is fleeting
 Wanting, Wishing, Waiting
