HOLDING THE MOMENT STILL

dusk settles softly on the open field, a hush drifting through the tall grass, holding the moment still. a lone bird circles the fading light, its wings brushing the edge of silence, holding the moment still.

Ahh, I like this one. Sometimes we feel if only we could hold onto a moment in time, it would make life so much easier. Thank you, Sara B., for sharing this one with us. It reads like a good contender to me for the contest. Sara K
