And to sense a real vibrancy about you that makes you feel like just being out there ...amongst it!
I wandered about many times at lunch this week
(Major Mitchell Cockatoos - a colourful part of the Sydney scene)
Feed the Birds
I awoke early today
the new season lit the spark...
All of the senses were
touched as one
As spring ...brought life
...back to the park
Fields of green
are the first things seen
Where late last week was brown
It's a very warm day
for early spring
Short sleeves on show all around
A flight of parrot
cause quite a stir
as they squark in the morning's heat
A cheeky field mouse
scuttles about
seems wheels upon his feet
Two ruddy old guys
They laugh as one
just why to me unknown
While a stripling lad
eyes the water's edge
fingering a stone
Overhead a plane sweeps by
lazily out to the sea
While a mother feeds an infant
just along from me;
As I mark out a comfy patch
Where I won't be disturbed
Where I ...feed the birds
Canoes on the river are
rolling on by
As a couple on a blanket sip wine
Two chatty ladies
have a place all set...
wicker baskets well charged to dine
Three young boys bring
a kite in with them
hopes high for a virgin flight
Beyond them walks
a weary old pastor
Trapped in his grounded plight
Young lovers
gaze into each others eyes
Channelling open minds
A private view
on a future for two
Prospects look just fine
A mother bends down
to help her lad
Free his little pink feet
As a uni-cyclist passes on by
well safe
from the busy street
Meantime
an open-top tourist bus
Rocks by to a beating churn
The merry throng
seem to wave as one
The ladies wave back in return
A young group kick a ball about
with unbridled glee
A 'cute little miss' eyes a butterfly
...nonchalantly;
Meanwhile a gent with a telescope
considers a far off world
While I ...feed the birds
One of the players
his shirt now off
banks like a passing plane
A colorful lad
To say the least
Anything but mundane
A young busker
on the bandstand
pleases one and all
As he lets go with
a guitar riff
worthy of Les Paul
Her child now fed
one mother walks back
into her waiting world
A red faced boy
makes a further pass
with a kite that won't unfurl
With that he hears
'Greensleeves' play
Mr Whippy comes into view
From all parts
...kids rush about
Save missing a place in the queue
Two well dressed friends
march off towards town
All done with their noon day sun
Crossing them
a businessman walks
Pulling his tie undone;
Without a need for words...
While I ...feed the birds
