Dew

"I will be like the dew to Israel."

-Hosea 14:5

+

A gentle thing

An Annointing

Arrives quiet

Anticlimactic

After such a Long night...

Such a Long

Long

Night

Settles, feather down soft

Soaking

Covering in halcyon Healing

Culling deep Grief

Barest Touch tending to

the bloody blows endured

merciless, devilish destruction

and dark deeds done

finally spent

Silenced

Displaced by this Delicate Dictum

Blanketed in this,

Morning's Benediction.

"The night is far spent"

-Romans 13:12
