Birdsong

Postby Tom Balch » Thu Apr 02, 2015 11:34 pm

The day started with birdsong
somewhere in the far distance
of my sleepy half conscious state.

Trying hard to pull myself from this
deep slumber into the new day
is a fight I think I maybe loosing.

I yawn and stretch my way onto
the terrace half blinded by the morning
sunshine but gloved in it's warmth.

The hills look so beautiful and lush
dotted with white houses and cortijos
nestled randomly between the olive trees.

The Martins are following red leader
one in their amazing aerobatics around the
red tiled rooftops and terracotta chimneys.

The sky is a blue that dulux blues can
only dream of being and the absence of
clouds only adds to the days beauty.

My eye's follow a buzzing wasp who is
searching for what ever it is that will make
his day, and I sip my tea enjoying the sun.

The day continues with bird song, sunshine
and that... it´s great to be alive feeling,
think I´ll put it all into words.

Such an inspiring read Tom - I could feel that early warm morning so clearly did your words share its glory. Spring around here is being its usual capricious self. Sigh.

I feel how inspired you are this morning Tom,
and so happy that you put into words the beauty of a new day unfolding as you awaken..
