I always think of dew as fairy wine. Especiallyif it drops from a scented

rose or  herb leaf.  Great little poem Troosh.

"caught not in fraught nor fray"...those lucky dewdrops looking so pure

and innocent...wonder if they would swap jobs even for a morning.......

I like what you see morning dew as symolizing.

Dew is a fascinating part of nature
as is hoar frost and snowflakes.  How rich we are to experience these specialties of God's hand.

Re:

oops!  How did that weird sentence happen?  Oh well, you know what I meant.

Troosha, your words are like dew drops.  If I partook of no other words than these for an entire day but these, it would be more than enough to sustain.
