A Moment In Time
A glistening cobweb, on an old timber gate
Rainbows reside in each drop of morns dew.
Thin strands of white mist in the sun dissipate
A scurrying mouse, weaving through the fescue.
Black and white offspring of a paradise duck
Fronds of a fern beckon new life in their curl
Bees seeking sweetness into bright blooms do tuck
While a gecko peeks out and departs in a twirl.
Rata flowers explode with vibrant red lines
While fantails flush insects with spirited style.
Tangles of foliage making balanced designs
Stopping and watching this instant worthwhile.
Gone the hustle and bustle of rushing around
Enjoying the pleasure of simple wonders to see.
Never invisible these sights that are drowned
Yet infrequently treasured by both you and me.
