The ticking pools the quietness
Of gathering skeins of time
And keeping quietly clicking
Knits peaceful solitude and warmth
Green and orange
Flashes of brown
Whirl
No murmeration
A whisper maybe
Fly quietly
Watching
But crisply underfoot
Ground down
Wetted and skeletal
And gone
Breathing quietly
At rest
Relaxed
For a moment
A second, an hour
Could be either or both
Bliss needs no timeline
And silence is warmth
The greening
The fruitfulness bursting
The harvest
The cold – blue grey and white
To the greening again
And the promise of light
