I saw a long funeral
a dead ant being carried
in a long queue.
It was quite placable
some were exchanging shoulder
It was the last moment
to pay homage to the departed soul
I too prayed for the departed soul
Rest in peace!
An interesting observation! I too have watched this scene with a lot of curiosity.....Enjoyed the detail of the ants shifting shoulders!
Heart touching poem. People just throw a glance and move on but you have brought so much sensitivity to the little every day scene.
Poet is deeply concerned with life of every living being. Homage to a departed soul is one of worthy note.
