Sweet Refreshment - Dabbling in the Dew

These buttercups in the park

 have grown long and lush due to the rain 

and I couldn't resist  taking off my sandals 
to walk barefoot

 through them.

Leaving

 the mown path 

and about to 
wade in 

I found they would have been 
up to my waist

so contented myself
 with 
"dabbling in the dew" along 
the grass path.

Soon enough my feet were stunningly cold and wet,

and I was glad I hadn't ventured into

 the deep buttery sea all around me.

Emerging onto the hard path

 I cleaned my feet of mud and grass as best I could 

and revelled in the warmth of being re-shod,

 but oh, my feet felt tinglingly re-vitalised.

Common sense tells me it would have been been too much

to have waded, sodden-skirted through the deep,

 but some bit of me still wishes I had!

  May the weekend be the discovery of a patch

 of golden refreshment,

received to the uttermost.

Be Blessed
