Simple moments
Her supple hand touched the breeze The ladybird purged pests with ease His cherubic cheek brushed her arm The cattle egret eats the bug (alarmed) Farmland of languid lucid flocks She sensed the scene from far away A chance to laugh and love and learn Her time had come to reach (to yearn) Events – […]
