Even the Shadows Are Warm

Swallows wings summer brings
Gentle breeze the bluebell rings
Sunflowers heads turn with ease
Dip their frame and kiss the bees

The pool is calm, but for gentle rise
All was peace before my eyes
Flower to flower the butterfly
A feast of life from earth to sky

Stealth the heron stalked the fry
Step by step with poachers eye
Kingfisher a blue and orange flash
Breaks the water without a splash

Warbler's jump from reed to reed
Grebes dived with chicks to feed
Midge's danced in time with sedge
A poet dreams at the waters edge

The evening sun the swallows bring
Across the pool they dip their wings
Light surrenders the moon it peeps
All was blessed as my pen it sleeps

Poet's write with coloured ink
Dare to say what others think
Visions born will come of age
All things seen to dance the page

Good rhyme and rhythm. The expressiveness and descriptiveness is excellent with the next to last stanza being especially appealing to me. Keep the creative pen flowing. Sara
