wings at rest

today on the back patio

a fallen one

closed eyes to the skies

soar in spirit

little

little

bird

today's meet up

one tiny mouse

on the driveway

still

still

still

until

lifting the garage door up

then bolting

...

race on little one

find a quiet

safe

space

rays

and then (finally) 

the sun comes out

and you think:

'okay...maybe i can 

park the ark

at least

for

today' 

today in the sunshine

yellow wings

flittering here

and

there

a lovely

golden

butterfly

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
