BUGS
and evening gently fell
​
on the quiet cloud of bugs
​
​
dusty crusty fragments
​
sitting on their little bods
​
​
they rested on a hilltop
​
with greener twinkled grass
​
the cloud of each and every one
​
congealing in a mass
​
from far away a sight to see
​
this huddle of tiny crawlers
​
​
shaded by white murky mountains
just a top their shoulders
​
like snow that has accrued
​
they made up one big pile
​
​
the whiteness of their oneness
​
dreamed inside their cloudy shell
​
​
and when day broke
​
small eyes blinked open
​
​
antennae attune for travel
​
nature’s journey
​
​
a winding path!
​
a sneeze across the gravel
​
​
steady goes those dainty ones
​
ready for any struggle
​
​
​
for just like god, they move across
​
earth’s giant, pretty marble
​
​
a family of bouncing weebles
​
forging streaks across the sky
​
​
a perfect bunch of ivory steeples
​
these milky pilgrims float to fly

Bugs can be an amazing catalyst for looking inside ourselves and our seemingly insignificant habits and annoyances. To the bother! and to becoming the observer.
