and then sometimes...

a sudden arrival on your doorstep

or in the greenery nearby

reminds you 

that nature is not always kind

but takes her toll

in the larger scheme of things

one delicate creature

at

a 

time

today's winged ones

~ a robin high in a treetop

~ a butterfly flitting across my path

~ a songbird heard but not seen

wings

wings

wings

eyes to the skies

early evening

severe storm warnings

eerie light 

above

weirdly calm

then 

windy

bluejays flitting

about

let's draw up the blankets

and put this one

to bed

 

that moment when...

after an anxious day

when you had to reschedule

a coffee meeting with

a long loved friend

due to a 

'special weather statement'

eyes to the skies

for potential funnel clouds

you open the wooden door

and it sticks

due to humidity

swelling

~

and so does you heart

wishing eveyone well

safe 

keeping

whoever

wherever

you

are

late monday afternoon

poplar branches bending

in a gentle breeze

dappled shadows dancing

on the patio

buttercup butterfly flitting around

daisies waiting to bloom

late late spring

that feels

like

summer

this colour tonight...

in the sky at the end

of May

is aMayzing

on the cusps of pink/purple

vibrant in the sun

will do my best

to commit it to 

memory

and conjure it up

on late December afternoons

when the winter sun

has

gone

down

a word for today...

inspired by sightings

of winged ones:

'vivify'...
