Here jewell like beads of water hang from grassy stems 
the crystal clear worlds inside each reflect a world less clear on the outside
shiny bright surfaces glisten and sparkle with the captured light of morning

here in perfect symmetry each luminous pearl is delicately balanced 
suspended flawless and oblivious of the future
pulled by gravity against the surface tension of a liquid sphere 
each represents one of millions or billions across this mist dusted field

here a landscape is bejewelled
a scene elemental as the water of which it is composed
rich as every jewel that composes it
here natural beauty on a tiny scale is the very essence of pleasure en masse
