Lizard

I had company as I showered

yesterday

A new hatched tiny lizard, I almost took

his life away

Carefully I picked him up to put him on

the tiled wall

Watched him as I washed my body so he

wouldn't fall

Just a tiny little one of pale 

yellow

Huge dark eyes barely an inch this

little fellow

He lifted his tiny head as he looked

at me

Then wriggled his tiny body to go

and wander free

The world will regard a tiny lizard as

it may

It touched me in the knowledge that I saved a life

yesterday
