Fleeting moments

A blue tit skims a stagnant pool;

for a moment longer, a thistled creature clings, snoozing upon a wispy blade of grass.

A bumbling bee brushes the golden weed;

for a moment longer, golden dust speckles its hairy back.

A coffee laden spider scrambles over tangled grass;

for a moment longer, the lanterns bathed in green breathe in, and breathe out.

A fly, wings amiss, wiggles antennae to the breeze of the wind.
