Black Mountain Tower
raises its hand,
claiming clear air from
low cloud smudge left
by yesterday's rain.
but the sun is distracted
long flamboyant arm
chooses a flock of birds,
their timeless endeavour -
sky-tiny and intrinsic -
refugees from light to light.
perhaps this is how
the world will end -
a triumphant sparkle
and autumn’s flash,
colours unsink the grey
Thanks Misky. It was a stunning morning this morning. I wanted to stop and take photos but had a busy schedule. So I had to photograph with words as best I could.
This is so good, but “colours unsink the grey” is beyond good.

Thanks, Bob. Words just fall in sometimes. In to my consciousness. That’s what happened with this last line. The brain is so mysterious.

I suddenly realised that i haven’t read any of your work for a while. Just checked. Somehow seem to have stopped following. Will have a read back.
