I am not the tears of the clouds
Nor am I the bright
Twinkling stars
I am a drop of pure
Crystalline dew
Formed in the quiet hours
Before the dawn's first bars
——
Early in the morning
When the sun is charming
Coaxing the earth to awaken
From slumber's embrace
I will shimmer, a fleeting
Ethereal being
Awaiting my transformation
My moment in this place
——
For I am not destined to linger
To cling to the leaf
Nor to adorn the petals
With my delicate sheen
No, my purpose is to rise
To ascend, to sublimate
Into a gentler form
A breath unseen
——
I will become a moment
A fleeting, ephemeral thing
As the warmth of the sun
Draws me skyward, aloft
Leaving behind the confines
Of this earthly realm
I'll shimmer and dance
A wisp, a zephyr soft
——
A gentle wind, caressing the world
With my touch
Carrying the essence
Of the dew that I once was
Transforming, transcending
Becoming something more
Than a mere drop
Clinging to a blade of grass
——
In this state, I am free
Unbounded by form or shape
My being dispersed
Yet heightened
Throughout the air
I may not shine as brightly
As the stars above
Can't bear the dark clouds
Lament and despair.
——
But in my ephemeral
Ever-changing state
I find a beauty, a grace
That is uniquely my own
For I am not bound to earth
Nor beholden to sky
But a conduit, a bridge
Between the realms unknown
——
I am walking through woods
Whispering breath
The sigh that rustles the leaves
The flutter of wings
I am change and
The nature of transformation
Of the cycle that endlessly
Eternally, brings
——
Let me rise, let me soar
Let me become
Than my humble origins
Something greater
For in my fleeting
Ethereal existence
I find
The true power of letting go
Of new beginnings
