You

Like dew on the blades,

you infuse life –

gently surrounding

while remaining on the surface

Nurturing,

touching in –

burning off

when it gets too hot,

but always

Reappearing

after evening draws

its mantle of forgetfulness

around us.

  Kenna, I presume the ‘it’ you refer to is dew 😉 And yes, it does! And yes, the metaphor so fits the person I wrote this for! Thanks for your comment!
