“…Dew-drops are the gems of morning…” Sammuel Taylor-Coleridge (from Youth And Age)
The Gems of Morning
.
There you are, ages old friends,
Round and quivering
Light gleamed and temporary
Telling me of tranquility
And transcendence.
.
I am as young as you are ancient
Pushing my way through the temporal
As if it were a semi-permeable
Membrane. To persevere
Is not the same as remembering.
.
Dew drops are marvelous creatures
Faultless and loyal they defend
The right to be whatever diadem
The world decrees. Clams or treasure
In a box, the sea will eventually
Give up her dead to sparkle
Like dew shared on the shores
of time.

Thanks for the read. A limited time posting - I am still not supposed to be posting poetry until 02.21.15. 5 months to go. So glad you stopped by. I feel as if a great weight has been lifted. - Just Bein' Lady A
