Jun 24, 2010 An Evening In The Garden


       
        When I came home Saturday evening I sat outside and watched the sky awhile.
        I thought about the things I saw in the garden and jotted them down as they appeared.
        Nothing poetic really, just a evening in the garden ~
        And this is what I wrote. 

        ==========

        Dragonflies are doing their aerial courtship dance.
        And ...
        the moon appears in the daytime sky,
        as an escaped breast, from it's trappings.
        **
        Gentle breezes caress the nape of my neck and
        a softened glow of sunset low ~ casts shadows on the grass.
        **
        Orange-red lilies bust out of long green stems,
        grinning so wide, their ruby lips, to kiss the evening sunbeams.
        Daisies bob in the breeze teasingly.
        **
        Robins chortle. calling each other home, before the last feed of the night.
        Little yellow Finch, "Squeegee" as they call. 
        So brave among their own ~ so timid when alone.
        **
        The hummingbird ~ clings to the clothesline ~ watching humankind.
       Then flits away so curious, so cute,
        examining colourful bright and shiny things along it's route.
        One flies to the feeder, the other dares her ~ tempts her away, to play.
       **
        Three old fashioned Bi-Planes scuttle over the trees.
        Their old engines, like egg beaters groppling overhead.
        An air-show is in town.
        **
        One lone lawnmower hums to a lulling silence.
        Oh sweet peace of night is falling.
        Soon the fireflies will come ~ their little flying lanterns beckoning a mate.
        Light an ember to a glow and they will signal back to you.
        **
        Light a penny candle and blow ~.
        Create one more ember that will glow ~.
        Deep within your sweet heart tonight.
