Refreshing Oldies - 5




Moment

An ant moves single file
Patient lizard flick-tongues a beetle
New blades of grass wilt
Horsefly turns off engine
Waterless flowers pray
Searing heat wilts spring leaves
Furtive bumblebee stilled
Mindful human nods
Life in July
For sixty seconds


F. William Broome 2003

Someone before me said this was like a snapshot.. and it truly was. I kept thinking of how much can be missed in the blink of an eye... beautiful piece, my friend.
