Living Dangerously

Yesterday, in the center
of a storm that blew its fury
across the morning, 
a brief patch of calm came
to settle the garden
and on sunlit tufts 
of purple coloured flowers,
a pair of wings broke 
from shelter to briefly 
flare and fold below 
an uneasy still as if 
shadowed on an anvil
paused between 
hammer blows of hail.

A poem of nature's curious ways. I hope the bird survived, Paul. Have a great weekend:)
