Rosebud resting on lost moments

Rosebud resting on lost moments

A Poem by Patricia Wedel
"

Loving to be near the Earth where shadows dance...

"
In the early morning dew when daylight peeks around a rosebud 
  
and birds begin to chirp and fluff their feather pillows... 

I curl up in my window seat and watch the willows 

as they sway and yawn upon the prospect of a new day... 

My friend the Palm Warbler appears upon a branch 

wearing a Chestnut Cap on the very top of its head... 

bopping its tail up and down like a trapeze artist 

prepared to fly through the air with an attitude... 

The buzzing bees are on a mission of sweet revenge 

while the Queen Bee is fulfilling a honeycomb order... 

The squirrels are gathering acorns for winter as 

leaves are turning their colors persimmon and gold... 

We kneel to welcome the season of autumn atonement

You dear Pat are a true lover of the natural environment. You live in perfect alignment with our animal and bird friends, appreciating them for all the joy they give. You had me beside you in your window seat, admiring and taking in the wonderful view of the changing season. Your poetry is like a gentle embrace.

These moments are so pure and perfect. I love to walk each morning at sunrise to try and find this kind of glory resting all around the gardens and the forest paths. What a beautiful treasure.

The Palm Warbler has such a pretty little song, its colors of autumnal yellow and brown. I love this time of year. As I put fresh water in the bird baths and fed the birds this morning, I noticed the leaves on the ground. It won't be long now. Yesterday, it was blistering hot and 97 degrees Today, it was 73, overcast and cloudy, with a soft, misty rain falling throughout the day. The soft steps of autumn are walking through the door. This is a lovely!

' I curl up in my window seat and watch the willows - as they sway and yawn upon the prospect of a new day... ' such beautiful and visual phrases, Pat. You see your world in such clear and kind colours, never too vivid, never insipid.. your surroundings obviously give you amazing pleasure. Thank you for sharing your time and visions. xx

Is the bird in the pic a punk Robin? I don't think I've seen one of those before, but it would certainly brighten my day too Pat.
I do like the name too, warbler gives us the impression he or she is not averse to belting out a tune of a morning, adding their opinion as a soundtrack to a wonderful morning to get us going.
The mention of squirrels has turned my soundtrack to the mission impossible theme. I can't explain why watching them makes me smile, but it does 😀
