"And the birds twitter like whispering violins."
Quote by Me
_______________________________
they talk under their breath, murmuring
and the wind sighs and whispers
my garden speaks softly in the rising sun of dawn
in low voices they hum and thrum calling me
come- see how green and lush we are today
see all our brilliant magenta blooms
and the deep purple and yellow trimmed petunia
the herbs grumble we are beautiful too_
and I go- still in my night clothes on tip toes
touching the fragile leaves with love
I whisper to each and caress them
do you need a drink- I mumble still sleepy
oh yes, please they grumble (so spoiled)
and the sun bursts forth and we turn our faces up
and the wind sighs and whispers
I let them drink from my watering can
as they drone a morning song
but they rustle with anger when kitty cat bites a leaf
oh no, no kitty_ I whisper, leading her
to her very own painted pot of oat grass
