Dewdrops Poem by Walterrean Salley

The little dewdrop is a wonder;
Its shape is round just like a pearl.
There quietly it sits in splendor
Upon some foliage that’s unfurled.

Smooth. Refined. Of perfect texture.
It sits (as morn is slow to pass) .
Such gem has nature sculpted of water,
For it is not of stone nor glass.

Sometimes it appears transparent
In likeness to a fragile tear.
At other times, it can be gray;
Quite subtle is the hue it wears.

Dew droplets descend all around
As nature nurtures plant and ground.
