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
