Ode To Dewdrops

You hang there on the rise of dawn Bending twigs where you cling, Glistening gems on sunlit lawn, Where I greet you before you're gone, Before my passions forlorn ding While you gleam rays of spring. How long dear will you glint and glow Upon vibrant realm green, My heart and I would like to know For zephyrs of west will soon blow To dethrone you from where you preen; Oh! force of gale is mean. How ardent you paint golden morn Blushing on canvas gray; Glinting rays my sight you adorn, Assuaging grievous yore lovelorn As verdant limbs gentle winds sway Waltzing with lucent day. Time has risen to bid goodbye, Yet, you flinch, loath to part, As sun paints arc in gamboge dye When a fervent tear sparks your eye, Heartening warmth love-vibes impart Vowing to cure my heart.

Vijay, I love the last three lines: "When a fervent tear sparks your eye, Heartening warmth love-vibes impart Vowing to cure my heart." Congratulations on your win on Mile 16 of my 2022 Poetry Marathon Contest. Keep your running shoes on because Mile 17 has already started.
