Today: August 3, 2015

Flock of Birds in Flight

Today 

I watched a flag of birds wave
high above the front window of my car

They were a lifetime away from me
and they seemed so beautiful and distant I had to stop and see

Car idle
paused on driveway
the old letter box sighing beside,
its ‘no advert s ng mat r ls’ peeled into a scramble of once
words and the driveway lifting up 
because of the willow root

My children inside
waiting for me to be home again.

    1. Thank you so much, Lou :) I am sorry it has taken me so long to reply. "Upheaval" is the word I would use for this year too. Thank you for commenting and connecting, and for your kind support, as always. I hope you are doing well, and having a lovely journey into winter now you are up North. :)
