CAUGHT IN THAT FIRST INSTANT


from the ABC set THE NATURAL WORLD - FLORA AND FAUNA

Caught in that first instant,
That first take, from a distance
There appeared from the Woodlands edge
A kind of low misty apparition
Almost like a cloud of drifting smoke
Emerging from the tree line
Of course when I got closer I realised
It was just the flowering Hawthorn
