Timmy's Journal - 15. A Day Out and City Life
A Day Out
I rise and wander through the wild-flowered meadow
Feel the sun warm me – chasing cold from my soul
Dawn comes gentle, with a pastel palette
The old oak silent, but oh the stories it could tell
Holds my back with ancient bark – its peace shared.
Above its branches reach, embrace, protect
Noon, velvet breezes dance, scattering buzzers
Babbling creek, frogs croak and I watch snails go slow
Sweat trickles, water cools as I splash upwards
Sitting, I watch the flutters by, the stingers zip
in my poor hand I sketch them, in words.
Until home calls me and the sun leaves long shadows.
City Life
In the city, people say that there’s no nature.
There is but you must seek it and
patiently await its trust in you.
Seeds I shared, and swiftly they left.
Each day the same time
The call I heard, as I waited
Now the tiny creature trusts
I will not harm its sweet,
Black-capped head.
It means more to me than I can say.
