Catching the Night Forming Dew


eaves-dropping with eyes

tired
sleepless eyes
piercing the darkness
snooping on
the dews forming
before the first light
of the day

to be trodden upon
to be wiped out

to form again
on another night
perhaps
if its time
has not run out
if time has not
just run out
on everything
away into
oblivion

The thought came from the last lines:  

if time has not
just run out
on everything
away into
oblivion
time running out and away into oblivion.

a dew drop is probably among the most ephemeral of nature's phenomena. For sensitive humans its fragile beauty has long embodied the impermanence of life. However one thinks of that impermanence only in comparison to other apparently permanent things when in fact there is no difference at all.   

What else is life but to be wiped out, to form again, and for the cycle to continue until and unto oblivion...the elusive and illusory web of green and mist in the image is translated perfectly in the accompanying text.
