Dew-drop

In a dew-drop, a little world exists 

A place turned blue and silver by the light 

That lingers well beyond the morning mist. 

In a dew-drop, a little world exists 

But melts into the grass long before night. 

In the same meadow where once you were kissed 

In a dew-drop, a little world exists 

A place turned blue and silver by the light.

  • stranger to blue water

    sing to me.

     

    i've been a stranger once more

    to your hills and valleys, to the

    gaps of sunlight between your grasping evergreens.

    i've been a stranger

    to the red barn

  • you already know summer

    you've felt

    the brambles and sweat, 

    the curl of berry-stained lips.

    you've seen

    the cornflower sky stolen

    by a red-orange river,

    the evening still thick

    with lightning bugs and laughter.

    her voice sounded heavy to her, filled

    with the unnamed emotion

    everyone had told her to expect. except

    she hadn't. she'd rolled

    her eyes at the shiny pamphlets and blog posts
