Dewdrops on grass

`
Winter and dawn.
And a droplet of dew,
Silent.
Clasps
Onto a rugged blade of grass.

Naive, I exclaim,
"How lovely the droplet.
How rugged the blade of grass."

You smile,
"Every drop of morning dew
Needs her grass to settle down,
And every weathered grass aspires
A moistened jewel in his crown.

Behold the lovely pair."
