At first light,
Floating thoughts sink into
An inky stillness.
Tiny tapping on the windowsill
Greets us and the skies gently brighten.
‘Bee-ilicious’ colours or favourite ice-cream flavours;
Fine feathering and watercoloured waves
Awaken dreamy seas and clouds tinged with flames.
Watch the soothing sun stretch warm
Limbs from downy clouds like galloping
Unicorns across misty lawns.
Singing Skylarks wistfully twist
High into the watery distance,
As eaves of Barley corn kiss.
Where I live in the little village of Cople, Bedfordshire, I can go out of my garden gate with my two Border Collies and walk for miles along footpaths and bridleways which take me through fields of Barley, peas and beans and many more crops. The Barley is soon to be harvested but looks stunning at the moment, particularly in the early morning and evening light. I love to hear the corn popping in the heat. What do you love about summer? 🙂
