Dewdrops

Crystal drops of dew faintly laze
on rose, a leaf, a blade.
They find they are in morning's haze.
A butterfly wakens their daze
Sips bits of sweetest nectar made
then hurries to meet shade.

Magic occurred as the world slept:
fairies collected dew
from lilac-soaked clouds, secrets kept.
Drops of rain have become adept
at hiding from sun's heated flue
their lilac dewdrops too.

Sweetness gleaned from a pansy's face;
dew spins nectar, it's said.
Bees and butterflies find its trace
seasoned with cups of Heaven's grace
and pollen, on wings, will be spread
to kiss new buds ahead.

Beautiful poetry Ann, I believe the same as you that magic occurs as the world sleeps and it’s then that the dewdrops weep. Congratulations on your win in Angel’s contest… Belle

Such loveliness brought to life in your words Ann! I love "drops of rain have become adept/at hiding from sun's heated flue." So wonderfully magical. Every line is filled with the mystical magic of morning dew - the "kiss" of promise to new buds. Congratulations on your win. Blessings of the new morning dews to you!
