River Minnows Deax

Seen Heaven	
Or a little peep perhaps
Viewed unseen but in this summer light 
Minnow’s dark tops sides a lovely silver hidden
Serendipity a contrary counter way shapes and in shadows 
Green reeds softly sway the gentle flanking current persuading
Lit the riverbed of soft golden sands transmuted a bronze by depth
Glistening yellow auric the strong suns noonday blazing light beams down  
Ancient buttress grey stone shaped by old artifice gives water a gentle pass
On the river bridge the weight of water an impetus a few feet down below
In the distance bright garden colours given now soft a focus by haze 
Comfy white cottages over the river resting in water meadows seen 
A self carved path by an enticement no choice drawn to the sea
The river flowing passing on its ancient meandering way
Sheep graze roaming enamoured of the warm grass
Scene of all basking in high summer sun
A pleasant walk down to the river
One of life’s sunshine days 
Heaven seen

What more could I ask for today? It is a beautiful day the sun shining and birds singing. I am reading your poetry in which you share a little of yourself maybe without even realizing it. You have written from your soul oh yes you have. Thank you for sharing your excellent poetry with us Nigel. Love, Carol
