Listening In.

The breezes are playing a shivery tune
on tall trees today,
as they sway they sound
out changes in darkening clouds,
and soon
they well know they will weep,
as mist hangs around
the distant blue hills.

I, listening in, hear
unshed raindrops shouldering speed
for certain
bold race,
while blue gauze of a sky disappears
to applause
from gardeners feeling earth's thirst.

there are those who see what you see and put pen to paper feeling homage must somehow be paid and are called to do so, but Fay, few succeed as you do here and as you do in many of your other" sculptures". I use that word to praise the 3rd dimension few can achieve describing the natural world of sky and land. Your ears have indeed listened in here. For you have made this particular sky a character unto itself and made it clearly.

I love the blue gauze of sky and that painting's sky is such an utterly delish shade of blue.
