Water Droplets
Morning dew clings tight
To thin branches reaching to the sky
While gravity tugs down.
Crystal balls reflect the world
While keeping their secrets.
Some round, some oval,
Frosty beads and clear droplets,
Nature's chandelier.
Light breaks through water droplets,
Forming bridges to the sky.
Mirror and lens both,
Each drop shows what surrounds it
And makes it larger.
Some eyes were wide open in awe,
Others are dreaming, half-closed.
Silent talks between droplets
In their world of light
Some alone, some as a community.
Tiny planets in orbit
Around the branch that holds them.
Earth feeds tree roots deep,
A tree lifts water to the sky
Full circle of life.
Liquid jewels of poetry
Write verses without speaking.
Here and then gone so fast,
Small yet holding everything,
The dawn's fleeting treasure.
Ordinary twigs become
Pathways between earth and sky.
Countless shimmering
Worlds in perfect balance hanging
Both nothing and everyone in all.
