Autumn’s morning dew prompts remembrance
Somewhere, an aside
to the warmth of water
on a cold day
struck a chord inside
How moisture softens
temperature’s shock
raises season’s scents
eases brittle drought
Dew of autumn’s dawn
yet to turn to frost
holds bits of air—
relative warmth contained
Reminds of life despite
winter’s bitter perils
invigorates desire
supports resistance
Its place in nature, stolid
self-nurturer, cold dew
serves purpose: protects
live plants, nourishes
Dewed flower petals sparkle
top-off enflamed hues
excite burrowing minds
allay seasonal blues
Dew’s warm water
held in suspension
prompt strolls, open eyes
enhances vision
