The desperate fling
of fly against window pane
to the very death

hehe, they missed my windows
too much dirt I guess
think I'll just leave them alone for now

take his soul........as he takes yours,

Ok - I am in a philosophical mood here today:

This is amazing because just think of it - that fly - means nothing to us really - does it?  A splat on the window - the windshield - right?  A simple observation -but ITS entire world - gone - in an instant - never thought of by us - yet think of those same verses above and apply them to self.  Pretty real then - isnt it?

Raph - I looked out my window and saw that fly and this is what I thought of - just how quick it all passes us by  . . .   nice job - as always amazing xxoo

You ever see a fly on a window sell dying, it will keep flinging itself against the window until it finally does. The effort, the hope, and ultimate futility of it all always gets me. Thanks for reading writing everyone I'm off to take a nap

A powerful little piece...
In light of today's events, I took a larger meaning...all is relative.
Good job poet. TD
