moon doing a bit of line dancing

2014 08 21 Moon line dancing last night at 3 jpg sig
Not everyone will know it, but at 3 last night the moon was swinging on the lines above the house opposite and showing off in front of a star filled sky….. and me looking out of the landing window ….. whether he knew it or not! GRM©

Avis vigiliae: A Golden Bird sits on the line…

2014 08 19 mushroom palace, robed faerie kings and a horse jpg sig
….in purple lit shadows
While the Faerie caravan moves on
Towards some new stopping place.
Dressed up in robes and tiny crowns
These funny flying things
Do hide their wings
So they can pull their toadstool on its course….
Then dragging slow a sort of worn out faerie horse!
Yeah!

sunset warns rain: but it won’t stop play

2014  06 28 Sunset through storm clouds jpg sigThe 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….

Gill McGrath June 25 Diary
Moon looked fascinating over in the field. Came back, and found out ,on the chart, that he had appeared for the first time at about 3.38 am, so he had been out for less than an hour and was actually on the rise. The sun appeared (in glory) about 5 am. The Moon should be about all day, but will be very hard to spot as the sun looks as if its going to stay bright in the blue. The rabbits, this morning, seemed not to care that I was there and were a delight. They started washing and running about and let me take photos! So checking out their pictures now.
