A solitary flower
White against the green,
Radiant and virginal
Naturally pristine.

A lofty weathered oak tree
Wears a wrinkled skin,
Age is written on its bark
Strength lies locked within.

On the edge of hearing
A huntsman winds his horn,
In counterpoint to baying hounds
Both eerie and forlorn.

A frisky squirrel frolics
Midst branch and twig on high,
Higher still above us both
A soft September sky.

This has a lilting, almost lyrical quality about it, David. Very much enjoyed;-) Tina xx

Thank you Tina, I'm glad you liked it. I wrote it whilst on retreat at the weekend when I was in a very clear headspace. :--) xxx

That explains it then...that almost ethereal feeling. I hope your weekend was worthwhile, and from this 'little gem', I would say it was;-) Take care. Tina xx
