Morning Dew

you're the infant sun,
that ushers in the dawn
of hopes,
and the first rays of belief,
that darkness isn't here to stay,
forever

you're the morning dew,
that calms my senses,
and melts
my heart,
and casts a spell
of unseen divinity,
and sows seeds of belief,
that you were awake,
and keeping watch over me,
silently,
while i'd been sleeping

you're my morning prayers,
that i lean on,
with an unwavering faith,
that you'll clasp my hand firmly,
as i start another day,
another journey,
another life,
that i am not alone,
and you'll never leave me alone

can you not be my morning tea,
and spring life back into me,
instill warmth,
in my gut, 
the moment you touch my lips,
and distill strength,
in my hopes, dreams, and soul,
with every sip,
in every breath,
every day!
