DEW DROPS

DEW DROPS

Dew drops
 Tears of Night's ending
 Brief
 Splendor in a rising sun
 Refracting colors fire red
 Fading soon into oblivion
Living their intensity
Only seconds in eternity 

I linger here
 In my own moment of intensity
 Refracting light
Under a sun  fire red
Sparks of colors  warm and bright
 Pull me into the ecstasy
 Of this
My singularly complex reality.

I am of the human kind
Spirit and mind
And clearly see
The edge of Infinity
For I know well  what my  soul does tell
And I need  live through this human mystery
Sharing the time given to me
As best I can
Between  colors  dark and bright

One dew drop between Heaven

One dew drop between Heaven and Hell you are so very beautiful in this poem, we are dazzled by the intensity of your blaze of words, and warmed by the scintillating colours, and the shine of that one drop of life's elixir; like a drug, its essence intoxicating, its powerful joy dizzying our understanding, our knowledge and our experience of life succinctly expressed in its one tiny momentary light, this drop of dew, the mornings moisture, when it sees the sun, is made the whole, the complete sensitivity to what life is, and sends our thoughts in its one straight piercingly lovely line, plummeting to our quick, where we are at one with all that is ever in this world, we are born, live, and die in, in one flash of wisdom this poem. Yes its beautiful Longobardolino, Annuccia tua.
