the bird who baths

sat
then flew
under the wires
to some place beyond

then back home again. tonight. Gill McGrath©

dancing the colour circle

At 9.30 am, it was still a rain swamped view out of the little window which looks down the hill and up to the horizon, and the little trees. Just then it looked as if rain would hang there all day…..

By 11.30 am there were suddenly chippy excited bird noises outside up there in the sky and it was looking good. Sun! Yeah!

At 12.30 am there were still lots of gorgeous white fluffy clouds rolling around up there in the blue and it all looked brilliant. And so did the fields and the shadows…….

2.56 pm

2.57pm

2.58 pm

3.00 pm

At 3.30 pm (back home) and looking over the garden from the window that looks towards the sunset, the sun could be seen in bright free fall again…..

And by 3.35 pm with the sun all gone, honey stains still lingered for a while. Oh!….I almost forgot…..4 o’clock….

By the little window again…. the window that looks down the hill and up towards the little trees……. and a piece of sky…. and the singing lines ……the slow purple pink dance began.

sunset warns rain: but it won’t stop play

The dark clouds mixed with curious pink last evening.

A warning. Of rain bursts in bucket loads today……

It will rain, as it always does to make Wimbledon stop, start, start stop… the tennis…and by a miracle…. the roof of glass will move and tennis will carry on, so lazy TV sports and home birds sit and look.

Rain, it will burst!… as it always does on Glastonbury; to make a mud bath, a unique summer pudding, set to music, in a field………

But before the warning up there in the sky; that summer has taken yet another twisted turn; for sitting in…… or out…..….

I, had in the soil, planted, just yesterday, some leaves, with strong roots born earlier in a sheltered place, warmed by a thing these tender green young things knew of, knew, that it glowed through,beyond, the glass above them…. (The sun)

Now these charming up starts sit in the rain soaked border AS IF SET FREE… now wallowing in a crazy night time wet, care free, without even knowing they are flowers yet!

They have grown I do believe in the rainfall overnight

Perkily they must have sat content just then, without glass, looking for the stars and devil moon (who even troubles me), who hides and looks and looks and hides.

Not quite the same as looking for the sun they already know….

Who hides here, out of sight unsettled, behind, under glass, who, waits ready to warm hearts and feet again…..and to dry washing soon enough….
