Poem -

I always came back to the dew on the grass

I have no idea of the 
Meaning by the words
The mouth has uttered.
In silence the world has
Long contemplated art
As a form of dying.
I have expressed it
Exceptionally well.

I was a stone, once.
Twice I counted myself 
As the sky, imagining 
I was Jesus.
If life went to fast
I took the footpath.
For me, though, I always 
Came back to the dew on
The grass.

Lately I've learned not to 
Frighten. Concerning 
Myself with items 
Like photographs.
I think of the day's hell
Passes us by
As a train on the railroad.
It's too easy to talk about sun 

One day the dew on the
Grass will worry me less 
That the Earth open up 
And swallow me 
All in good fun.
Mind numb to the cold 
The frost so unloads.
May the soul of the Earth 

Prove the gold it is worth.

Oh my... This is absolutely gorgeous I see your soul in this dear Rory. You've been on a roll with your poetry and this is just magnificent. You are right, it's easy to speak of the sun, you do light and dark incredibly well. Kudos. 🌹 Love your narration in this, it's got everything from imagery to reflections and emotion. 🌹
