Like dewdrops
Each morning, a speck of glimmering
Silver, every
Sunrise
Offers new promise until our moments evaporate into
Night.

    Absolutely Super. And so many ways to interpret it.
    Sunrise offers new promise – hope.
    Until moments evaporate into Night – ending that which servers no purpose.
    Brilliant.
    Thanks so much for linking up.
