Becky’s #SquaresRenew
Lens-Artists Challenge #300: Delicate
The temporary life of water drops,
gathered in the mornings dew
awaiting the sun
to set them free.

Suspended life
once feared
rendered inoperative

Slender branches
fade in time
as death takes hold

A lost bit of life
fallen
a treasure to find

Petals of paper
burst forth slowly
awakening life

Gather nectar
feed the body
feeds the soul

I love the flow of your words and photos – nicely done, Brian. The little hummer at the end, way to be there at the right moment to capture that photo!
