I Am An Autumn Dew

I'm water, though I'm like a pearl. Hung on a crown of thorns, I swirl My form and shape slowly alter. Though I'm like a pearl, I'm water. I'm born, like a crystal, tonight. Tomorrow's sunbeams I've to fight From my throne of thorns, I'll be gone. Like a crystal, tonight I'm born. The vapor! Then cold wave chills Though I dry fast, my quest thrill-fills. Sometimes I am a breeze-breaker. Then cold wave chills the vapor. Like a leaf, I float in the breeze. Gradually, my movements seize To nature, my life I devout In the breeze, like a leaf, I float. Eternity, I find, at last The ocean I mix in is vast. Amidst every absurdity I find, at last, eternity.
