Pearls

Pearls

A tender leaf

All decked up with

Glistening drops of

Morning dew

It shivers unconsciously

In the waning chill

Tiny orbs

Of crystal liquid

Roll and merge

With nearby siblings

Fluidly

Some spheres wobble

Some stay still

Each one reflecting

Whatever they see

Trees sky sun

And a few even me

As the leaf waits patiently

For a gust of wind

To launch its precious

Wealth of pearls

In the air

Absolutely free
