Morning Dew

August 30th 2023

I imagine us sitting side by side

on the peak of The Mountain,

Earth’s moisture soaking our skin.

As the morning sky lightens,

the surrounding fog disperses,

slinking down into the trees,

flowing into the valleys, and

disappearing beyond the horizon.

The sunrise greets our faces,

and I feel its warmth when

I look into your eyes.

There, it seems that, maybe,

somehow, there is something

hidden in the goosebumps

that dance upon our dewy skin,

glistening in the sun.

And that something resembles love.
