wishing, a tiny moment

Dew
Sparkling like a million stars
Confined 
And compressed 
Into one tiny orb
On the very edge 
Of a leaf
The golden rays of sun
Refracting 
Into a tiny rainbow
Reflecting 
My hopes for this world
As the tiny 
Drop
Falls 
Like my heart falls
Into the pit of my stomach 
When I see just how much we've done
To hurt this planet 
And it's people 
As it falls 
Glowing in the leaf muted light
I bow my head 
Weary from wishing 
This world to be better.
