Either Way

By John Blase | May 7, 2015 |

The way dew clings to grass can

capture my attention for a spell.

Or maybe its the way grass clings to

dew that has me so fascinated.

Either way you cut it is a wonder

in a way the new Apple Watch isn’t.

Maybe that’s because I’m getting older,

or better. Either way I find it simply

hard to care about the shiny things while

sunlight woos the morning dew away.

So many shiny distractions. Thanks for reminding of what is truly beautiful.

Yes, because there will always be something newer and shinier coming along behind.
