Notes About The Poem

Beads of Dew

beads of dew;
          silver pearls
           a b o u n d
 stubbornly clinging 
to spider webs
silently 
           t
           r
           i
           c
           k
           l
           i
           n
           g 
       down
 window panes
           after rainfall
their traces, 
c   o   n   t   r   a   i   l   s in the sky
s i l e n c e 
            broken
as they 
          d
           r
           i
           p 
         into 
             a puddle,
             and into 
the thirsty soil;
they s   l   i   d   e off 
lotus leaves,
     flower petals
and r   o   l   l 
            d
            o
            w
            n 
    blades of grass,
                 roofs;
e   x   p   l   o   d    i   n   g
         as they pelt 
                 concrete,
breaking silence
             once again.
