It's you


Morning dew
Falls in my eyes, 
Another sunrise
Will be seen
In the horizon, 
A pack of lies
Will begin to
Consume the day, 
Alluring ways, 
Mad rush, chasing time, 
Ignoring the rising star
For a meaningless reason, 
Will invariably lead
The world and its cousin
To the pre-written prison. 

In the interim, 
Let me hum
With the birds, 
Without words. 

I wonder how sadness
Can be so beautiful, 
It brings us closer
To the truth.

I realise that the dew 
Is not just a mere drop, 
It's your presence, it's you.
