I am but one ant
in a hill of ants.
I am a droplet of mist
on a foggy day.
I am a willow
bending to your caste.
I struggle for voice
with mute tongue.
These are the days of interruption.
Of disappearance.
I will dance for you now
but not forever.
So don't get used to it.
I'm not as far gone as I look.
Parfait of Mist by David Webster taken at Kiosk, Algonquin Provincial Park, May 2010.
Filled with wonderful possibility and pensive doubt all at once. Loved the brevity of it, Cathy...

ReplyDeleteBeautiful, picture and poem.
ReplyDeleteI like it. It has the feeling of a Paul Westerberg lyric.
