Dewdrops

Dawn reflecting

Wakening glistening

Diamonds scattered cross the field

Meadow carpet radiance aglitter

Gems of nature deck the morning

Fleeting fading passing

Transient sparkle

Dewdrops ...

Sweet Sally Sue was not a quitter
She was so much stronger and fitter
Working from dawn to dusk
Despite she smelled of musk
She left the whole world all aglitter

seeded in battle
growing amongst the death mass
weep
no longer in grief

blooming blooming high
veiny stem all aglitter
she
will outlive your fray

trusting the true gale
in her dance she instills mirth
cry
for the joys of life

We felt tiny,
Her hand in mine
Upon that strand,
Sundown’s rich show
Of indigo
And pink, lush hues
To darkness washed,
True pitch in which
Pale surf, aglow,
Whooshed, foaming in
‘Neath stars, aglitter,
So infinite—
Oh! flecks we were,
Mere motes until
My arms I wrapped
Around my wife
And, lost in love,
	We shared a kiss:
Wide world, sea vast,
Eternal sky
	Then faded all
		To naught....

I’ve danced on tables

My boots laced high

I have that kinda style

Cognac in one hand

Tambourine in another

I go on for miles

Songs of sorrow

Songs of love

Sweeping the night time air

Stars all aglitter 

A toast to you

Glasses raised high in the air

We sang and we danced

We laughed and romanced

Days that lasted forever

Now we look on

As they dance to our song

Our days have but gently ended...
