A Waltz Upon a Leaf

Teetering on a tangent this pearlescent dew drop
Balancing midrib, it is but
A breath away from oblivion's slide, yet
Held in place by Mother Nature’s lace

A globule of life
An ocean full of microbes surfing its globe
Pirouetting with life’s balance it quivers in its emerald valley
Blinding sunrays bleeding colourful apparitions

From this tiny orb, a disco ball
Where butterflies ballet
A Sundance in glitter
A glide to nature’s symphony

A waltz upon a leaf

This write is truly deep and very inspiring. I, that write deliberately to appeal to the reader that may be less knowledgeable in poetry dearly love to read such well crafted and deep poetry. Such is like apple pie to my tastes. Another 7 that could easily be a 10 if they allowed that rating..
