For a little while- I am no-one's beck&call-I am not indoors,nor am I 'working' . I am just strolling, and looking, listening, absorbing scents,and enjoying.
For sure, there may be sore feet, or a tired body;that doesn't really matter .There is way too much of the 'good stuff' to catch up on !
Nights in Summer can be an experience ...some nights, indeed it is like attending a Symphony .The 'theatre' has a cavernous roof, sprinkled with glittering lights - the lighting continues down on the 'stage' , where diamond eyes twinkle and show the path . :) An orchestra of tiny players produce an amazing assortment of whistles, clicks, croaks and whirrs - while, 'off stage' come different notes from the large winged players overhead ...
In Winter, the scents are of damp, and ice- sounds are limited to birds of the night , and the cold wind makes trees shiver in the moonlight.
Falling Stars are a treat , as are Summer storms, when it feels as if I am cloud walking .. with the storm rolling and rumbling overhead ,as lightning flashes and those large warm raindrops splatter on the ground-kicking up mini dust clouds :)
Sometimes, there is a special happening in the night sky- one which seems to be just for me , and one which will be always treasured.
"Moonbow"
Last night I saw a rainbow-an arch across the sky .
A rainbow all of silver- and it almost made me cry.
A rainbow in the moonlight-a magic ,transient thing
Which ,though my heart was heavy, made my spirit sing.
For death had called for someone ,a friend of many years,
Now I was seeing magic, through eyes so full of tears.
The tears were those of loss, and all that grief can be,
But a heaven-sent rainbow gave a smile back to me.
