THE ANT















MOSSY GREEN
LINES THE POND...
PINE AND
SYCAMORE
STAND TOGETHER
WATCHING
REFLECTIONS OF
SKY ON WATER

I AM AMUSED
IN THIS PLACE...
FREE TO SMILE
AND PLAY
WITH A LONE ANT
ON HIS WAY
TO AN IMPORTANT
DESTINATION

I GIVE THE ANT
A NAME...
I SHOWER
THIS SMALL CREATURE
WITH MY LOVE
AND RESPECT
FOR THIS IS
A GALLANT ANT

NEVER BEFORE
HAVE I SEEN
SUCH GALLANTRY
FROM ONE
SO SMALL
YET UNAFRAID
I SURMISE
THE LESSON IS MINE

THOUGH I AM SMALL
I AM UNAFRAID
THOUGH I AM ALONE
I AM UNDAUNTED
THOUGH I AM NOT
AS GREAT AS YOU
I HAVE YOU
ADMIRING ME...
