Waiting ~ Pic and a Word Challenge #207

He waits
In silent patience
For orders
From the terrace
While a surreptitious lens
Captures his composure

The path is wide enough to share
I need not walk alone

I recall the world
Through my child-eyes
To see all the world
Is play

All these moments
Become fractured memories
Altered with time

In a mind
Bent on manipulating them
To serve the present

Sometimes
The beauty
Of a moment
Takes the work
Out of the job

So I seek the beauty
In every moment

Every time I reach
Just a little beyond my grasp
I imagine myself a tower
With the pinnacle in my hand

All the world’s aflutter
For little girls
Fistfuls of birdseed
Their indiscriminate chaos

Such are the conditions
Of beautiful perfections
