the cow to land
after jumping the moon, and
warm milk provided
we stop and consume.
on the edge of the sky
the sound of birds
flowing away
we are one with the sounds
the air
and swallow deep
the world around us.
Our tin ears cupped to hear the
ringing bells
waiting for the cow to land
waiting for the warm milk
and again to consume.

Nature is a wonderful friend, nice photo.
thanks for the kind words and the compliment!!!
Doc, thank you for sharing that with us. That was very special. For me I do not like the wind and try and get away from it. I love to sit and watch nature though.
i have lived in windy places for many years. I guess I am used to it now.
I like the rest of the story after the cow jumped over the moon. 😀 cute kids.
I was living in a really old house when I wrote this poem. The wind talked and my kids were little so the odd combination was born!
Who are the cute kids in the cover picture? And yes, I like listening when the wind is rustling through the leaves. It is like the world sighing. I cannot say I like listening to the sound of the wind when there is cyclone though.
two Irish children, unknown names. the sound the wind can be either comfort or dismay, right?
You know I often take in all the sights and sounds of nature. And they stay with me.
it is truly amazing sometimes what we can see in nature.
It has more to offer than most realize.
it does, it allows us to be connected to ourselves but disconnected from the world!
That is does, I am often disconnected and unplugged.
as you know I struggle with that from time to time. I am trying to do that every week for at least 2-3 hours.
We have been blowing so much lately that I can listen to the wind right in the living room, dear friend
i used to live in a really old house that whistled and rattled in the wind!
My house is not that old, but it’s true that I’ll have to replace the windows
i have a camera that shows hot and cold. I took a picture of the windows in our house, we were throwing money out the window in the summer and winter. We got new windows and things are a lot better now!
Windows can save a lot of energy ….. elsewhere I already have new ones … I have to replace two more and then have all new ones
it has been amazing how much warmer our house is!
Today as I was cooking I listened to the wind in the chimney of the absorber. I’m not sure we can keep the silence. You have a lot of talent as a writer.
thank you so much! I love writing but I wish I had your photographer’s eye!!!
