Chasing the Morning Dew

Chasing the Morning Dew by Lori Maria Walton Sitting alone in a world of rhyme I marvel longingly at the pass of time Created for day and night But when watched closely must take flight Careful not to disturb the balance Between love of time and chafed heart callous One can wait for eternity If only a second love is free Free to roam among the fields Of romantic flower and jasmine shields A moment can be preserved forever To create a lifetime to endeavor Standing next to evening rain Pondering life through a window pane Shadows drink my desires away Exiting the stage of this life's play Drunken slurs of memories past She waits for him her role to cast So life can go beyond the moment Begin to breathe and not lament But in the present she remains torn To laugh and love and surely mourn The years to come without a view She continues to chase the morning dew
