I was sitting by the window this autumn day and gazing outside I was able to capture a moment and appreciate it to its depths of colour, sound and hue.
My view
As I sit by this window and look outside
To explain to you the reader of what I see
I would need to write of it till nightfall
And still the picture would not be complete
I could just take a snapshot and paste it right here
But the snap shot only captures so much
You can’t hear all the different sounds
The different bird calls
The traffic near and distant
The richness of colour and sound
Of leaf shape and texture
The different hues of red and green in the foliage.
The colour of the sky from light blue near to the horizon
The clouds of ever varying colour and shape
From the brilliant white to the dark
Those with a flat underside and fluffy on top.
And then others streaking high stretching out
And all the while on the window the loan fly keeps on walking around
Looking for a way in.
The shadows are getting longer
And the colours are changing
