Picking Up Roots

Results

what determines
what is good
or what is bad;
the result

would it not be worse
to never have tried;

who are we
to sit in judgement

Dew

the bead of dew
teeters
on the tip
of the blade of grass;
precious
it glistens
in the silky light
of the morning sun

Before Dawn

night's shadow
still bruises the sky
as invisible birds
begin their morning conversations;

a final firefly
explodes its small bulb of light
upon the scene -
a burst of white -
before it disappears
into the black;

a new day lurks
just beyond
the darkness
