Rustic Scenes
Rustic Scenes
Unnoticed behind the mango tree
I wait for the village Belles
Anklets on feet rings on toes
Make music wherever they go.
Like caged birds set free
Sing, dance, with abandon
Outside on morning spree
Gather wood from acacia trees
Colors of the rainbow
Duplicate in their attire
Swirling skirts most admire
Inlaid with glass reflections throw
Mesmerized pick up my flute
Blow and create a new melody
They giggle aware of my presence
Flutter like birds to complete errands
