The dew drop forms
on a pear blossom
glistens in first light
trembles in a breeze
slips onto a lizard tongue
and loses itself
in giving.
The Full Life of a Dew Drop

That’s a beautiful flower…as are you!
ahh! the circle of life, beautiful, and also sometimes confusing.
I’m currently pondering drought and the loss of water via fracking.
The image of time enters in and awareness that the circle can move fast or slow in MEST terms.
I’m also delighting in observing images as the mind presents them and the laws of the mind (relativity, continuance, association), how each image gets associated with another, to delude mind into thinking it is eternal. And enjoying the new awareness I have of volition, my option to turn all the minds images as they arise including their associations over to the Beloved, that He may refashion them in His image, infuse them with Shabda, inform mind that it is limited/has no true continuance, so that surat my reign in consort with the Beloved. What a beautiful journey this is!
So beautiful, thank you Lesley!
If there was a word beyond beautiful it would apply here! Thank you for such a stunning verse and picture.
Thank you all for your kind comments. This poem came through leaving me wondering what it was about, but as I contemplated it more I saw the beauty of its simplicity, the way that everything in our lives is completely valuable and then gone in a blink, while our eternal life thrives on.
Sweetest of life is Giving with no thought of reward…..thank you for this delicate reminder!
I love the imagery — melting into the tongue of a lizard, maybe grateful for a second, then thinks no more about it, yet the dew drop is transformed in its service forever. God realization seems similar — eventually the God force will absorb us and be little changed. We, on the other hand will be eternally altered in our Godly service. You are a lovely channel and a channel of the lovely. Keep listening, m’dear.
