Lawn Sequins

Sometimes I leave the house early to go to work 

or just to get coffee made by someone other than myself.

There's no telling what the morning will present -

a beautiful sunrise, fog lying low in the soccer fields,

or this, a lawn covered in dewy sequins.

It's as though I caught Mother Nature in her glorious 

gown just as she returned from a ball.

Sadly, there doesn't seem to be a way for me to capture 

the effect of the light on the droplets, to show you the sunlight

on the glorious green expanse of velvet lit by myriad 

sequins of light. Changing the angle or getting closer meant

reducing the twinkle that caught my eye in the first place.
