Capture the Moment

Man cutting grass The dogs moving pass Wind blowing leaves In extremely tall trees Colors vibrant Sun shinning Books nearby Fly by my side It watching me Me watching it As we both listen To sound of the mower The collection of Langston Hughes open Pink and white before my sight He just glided closer to me As if he knew I would cause no harm Flies I like not But he has my attention Again he moves two steps down Still observing me As I observe it Sun on my legs Dirt bright red Some grass taller than other A mesh of hay Display dry grass n ground Another step closer he flu Me still watching him Him still watching me Is this fly gonna leave me be Ashy feet Buttocks hurting from my wooden seat Dogs communicating one with another Fattest bees I’ve ever seen Yellow and red leaves Voices in the distant What they say no instance Red bird on a fence Crooked flying plane in the air Just hanging out there Me the mover the flies and the bees The red birds and squirrels in the trees No body bothering me Just a little fly seeing ten of me!
