Pale blue sky

like a giant inland sea

clouds appear

like coral reefs

white fingers

abstract shapes

form then disolve

like an ever changing

seascape~yet resting

firmly rooted on the hills

As I am lifting my arms~

pinning a late load of laundry

on the line~ next to Oberon

one of our Heritage sized oaks

I wonder will moonlight instill

a bit of magic in these clothes?

Thus far the only fairy like

beings I've seen were the Hummingbirds

hovering over the red plastic pins

looking to see if a new, exotic kind of

flower is in bloom~ eager to have a sip

I use only the wooden pins now

as the hummers have been known

to leave a little calling card

showing their displeasure at the lack

of nectar no doubt

Interesting what can come to mind

while doing mundane, mindless chores.

They hover nearly motionless

wings dip allowing turns

riding the warm thermals

the ritual of one last flight

before it's time to roost

~

Each evening we watch

envying their effortless flight

the freedom they must feel

gliding in mindful circles

around and around ~trance like

whirling dervishes in the sky

Sudden cloudburst

leaves dance with joy

as they receive the benediction

all glows gilded green

while rain and sun play

hide and seek

Floral Mandala

Nature's genius at work

Golden face replaced

by the beauty of seeds

ready to fly~up, up and away...........

Sitting outside

eating frittata

breathing sunshine

Hot coffee

wakes senses

and mind

Dessert after

our breakfast

why not

Pink

reclining gracefully

shaded by leaf

nature's umbrella prevents sunburn
