Daily Dewdrops

Quote:  Every day is a page to write a new story.


DAILY DEWDROPS Freshly fallen snow, no print left yet. An empty box, with no pretty bow. I get down on my knees, to write a prayer - a wistful prayer of bittersweet. My finger shivers in the breeze. I cursively draw, on this wall of white. As snowflakes fall from eyelashes, I bawl. A white bunny’s hop halts, little twitching eyes read my poetic plight. Dripping from my index pen, a blizzard of tears - erases all of my faults. Tomorrow, I will start anew, writing my escapades on a pristine white carpet - perhaps many words, perhaps a few. And what might each day bring? A quilting upon white cotton… An epic on framed canvas… My emoticons might vary, but dutifully I sing!

So nicely written, Kim. Dew drops are very dear to my heart. My granddaughter's name is 'NEHARIKA'; it is a Sanskrit word meaning dew drops. God bless you.
