Symbiosis

Amidst our leavings
Poor discarded offerings
Of mundanity

Nature’s small beauties
Follow her wilful children
Cleaning city streets

Passing unnoticed
A moment when eye meets eye
Shares understanding

    Pretty little chaffinch! (When I looked it up, I’m surprised I had guessed correctly. I have no idea how I knew it. Maybe Beatrix Potter? :-D) There does seem to be an understanding sometimes that passes between, ‘when eye meets eye.’

    Wow this is beautiful….
    Amazingly portrayed emotions..day capture the essence of the magic that goes behind two thoughts that meet..wen dey convey a lot that may or may not be understood but is definitely special….
    Dat is my understanding of the text. .
    Please tell me what went behind writing it..because it’s all so special that only a writer can understand..
    Tc keep writing
