Dew on Down Close Up

Dew on Down Close UpA down feather on the ground gathering morning dew at a KOA campground in Asheville, North Carolina

Morning Dew on a single feather of Duck Down,
Glistening like liquid silver in the soft light of dawn,
A tiny gem, delicate and pure,
Resting gently upon the earth's green canvas.

In the quiet stillness of the campground,
Where dreams and nature dance as one,
This solitary feather tells a story,
Whispering secrets to those who listen.

It speaks of tranquil nights spent beneath the stars,
Of laughter shared around crackling fires,
Of whispered tales that echo through the trees,
And the gentle touch of a spouse's hand.

The morning dew, a gentle reminder,
Of the fleeting beauty that graces our lives,
For like the droplets that caress this feather,
Life's moments too are ephemeral, yet profound.

In this single feather, nature's poetry unfolds,
A symphony of existence, woven with grace,
With every droplet, a word unspoken,
Creating a tapestry of life's infinite wonder.

Thus, let us pause, and let us reflect,
On the beauty that surrounds us each day,
In the morning dew on a single feather,
In the simple joys that take our breath away.
