Diamond Mist

Come down, sweet mist of morning, touch my face
And drizzle wet upon the fertile earth
This piece of Eden is my sacred place
For it is here, my joys of greatest worth

Place teardrop beads on honeysuckle vine
Sweet garnishment of dew on every blade
A touch of misty spray on columbine
Soft sprinkles on the lily’s wings of suede

Wet primrose pink and periwinkle blues
Let weeping droplets dangle from each leaf
My crimson rose, bathe in the purest dews
With prism crystal domes on velvet sheath

Then I’ll be here to watch the sun arise
To glitter diamond blooms into my eyes

This was the very sweetener I needed with my morning coffee. Thanks.
