~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Crystal droplets on the grass, a shimmering, ephemeral mass, reflecting dawn’s light, a sparkling glass, their beauty unsurpassed. Yet, as the sun ascends the sky, these jewels of spring begin to dry, a transient beauty, a silent goodbye, under the warming sky.

Dew drops have only an ephemeral existence. They reflect rainbow shades early in the morning. But as the sun begins to shine powerful, the dew drops dry up. They utter a silent goodbye. Dear Sara, this is a lovely poem, lovely as a dew drop glistening on the margin of a beautiful rose flower.

The picture you have created is tranquil and the imagery is vivid, both of which you have skillfully depicted, dear Sara. Each line, from the shimmering droplets to their eventual serene departure, is exquisite. Reading this poetry evoked thoughts of the ephemeral splendor of life, resembling delicate dewdrops on morning grass. The image of sparkling crystal droplets in the morning light evoked a sense of awe and fascination inside me.

Dear Sara, reading this poem reminded me of the fleeting beauty of life, much like the delicate dewdrops on morning grass. The imagery of crystal droplets shimmering in dawn's light evoked a sense of awe and wonder, much like the way in me. Just as the sun's warmth causes the dewdrops to evaporate, life too is transient, filled with moments of beauty that eventually fade away. Yet, in their brief existence, these moments hold an unmatched allure, much like the beauty your poems bring into the world. - Blessings, Daniel
