Mourning Dew by ~draecana:icondraecana:



the grass is mourning;
i can feel the wetness on my skin,
standing barefoot,
in a sea of even-cut green.

and though the sun will rise,
and wipe away those tears;
as a lover might;
i find those moments before dawn
somber and sobering.

just how sad must one's dreams be
to wake up with tears,
settled on your lashes,
every morning?

...something kinda melancholy that popped into my head at work. i wrote it on the backs of these little forms we put on defective merchandise at the warehouse, and then accidentally put them down in a puddle of water by the bathroom sink. i had to dry them out with the heat gun we use to remove stickers!:XD:

and now you know the rest of the story...

(on a side note, did anyone else ever listen to that AM radio segment? there was this guy, with a fantastic narrating voice, who'd read little known stories about famous people and it always ended with:

"and that man/woman/boy/girl was *fill in name here* and now you know...the rest of the story.")

Hey, the DD led me to you.

This piece stays within itself. A nice statement.
