The Calm before the Storm

A quiet day in May

Mid morning on a Wednesday when baby birds begin to chirp 

The red cherries are ripe for Pie and the flowers sing a lullaby... 

Kittens sigh and purr on pillows of clouds as seen in the Mind's eye... 

The Storm can wait for afternoon Showers as the Sky may turn grey 

Mothers untie their Aprons and enjoy a Siesta before the Children 

return from school with their Lessons embedded in memory... 

Fathers are working and looking forward to a home cooked meal 

fit for a King and Queen with a Royal family thankful for a 

Shelter from a Storm as Shingles on the Roof will protect their Home.   

Pheasants fly silently over Fields of Corn and Wheat...  Blessings Indeed.

Indeed it never fails to amaze me how the local fauna seem to sense an oncoming storm and make ready accordingly long before us humans, and here you show the very nature of such an event through poetic imagery and discriptive visuals, beautifully penned dear Patricia, blessings indeed!

[Tom]

Yes indeed so! 🌼

Is it to many cherries before I go to sleep, never never land unless I can escape realizing, not a child but a man who now plant corn and wheat so i can fill my belly.
Thank you for sharing.

dear Mauricio .. Cherries may be best for breakfast or lunch. Farming is a way to enjoy the nourishment special just for You. Thanks for stopping by. Softly, Pat

Sometimes we have to learn to be thankful for the small blessing that we have in this life and the natural treasures that lie before us.

I love the whole story in this poem and how the house is shelter and protection from the storm.

Dear Pat, such a beautiful picture forms in my mind's eye. Nature prepares for a storm and

"Pheasants fly silently over Fields of Corn and Wheat... "

I read on, rapt at such beauty of words.
