Gems of Light


evidence of rain
in the form of tiny spheres
lay lightly
yet tightly
not rolling from leaves
tiny spheres of rain
and light
mighty
precious gems

The dew on leaves is like tears of joy. God is pondering, translucent and allowing you to see your own reflection to help you help the self. Peace and love are within.
