Flame Thrower

This morning I noted one drop of dew.

One drop not dropping, but glistening and radiating its distant star's light.

The flame-colored nasturtium does not notice the dew drop as it is encompassed within its own self-contained nexus.

Symbiotic sameness nestled in a singular entwined universe--- Infinite miniscule worlds swirl while invisibly locked in an inextricable dance.

Sentient tenant over all.

Dark matter blinks quietly while showcasing itself in the invisible universe of the lone dew drop, clinging to its flame-colored host.
