When there is only sky
and waving tree line
and tall grass a silent crowd
when there is no sound
but the complaint of leaves in the wind
a lone nightingale in the hedge
and the swollen stream
shouting from its bed
when the world is wind and water
we hold our breath
beneath the shoaling clouds
whale-black jostling
and wait for the deluge.

Beautiful poem.
Thank you!
You’re welcome
Beautifully penned and imbued with such wonderful imagery.
Evocative in essence and meaning and suggestive of the rain we have had and my writing
Thank you 🙂
Those clouds are very much like a whale! Great layering of both word and image. (K)
Thanks. They did make me think of a shoal of whales, jostling one another.
Reblogged this on Die Erste Eslarner Zeitung – Aus und über Eslarn, sowie die bayerisch-tschechische Region!.
The imagery show the essence of life. Love it, Jane! xx Michael
Thank you!
You are welcome, Jane! I am now on https://books.eslarn-net.de. Is it OK for you, if i repost your articles by using some lines of them, with a link to your blog? Reblogging is not longer possible outside the WP.com family, but WP uses some cookies against the German GDPR version. xx
Yes, of course! I’ll see if I can get into this site.
You can find at: https://books.eslarn-net.de.
Bookmarked 🙂
Great! Thank you! 🙂 Enjoy a wonderful rest of the day! xx Michael
🙂
Yes, I can 🙂
Thank you! Maybe the postings are now seen much more better, because i can use my Google server connections much better. 😉 xx
It looks quite clear. I’ll have to bookmark it somehow as I don’t get notifications for many things.
That’s the stupid thing about selfhosting! But this Jetpack plugin from WP.com sends to the US, and the Germans don’t seem to like the US. Not just because of Trump. Lol
Most of us are just a little wary of them 🙂
Beautiful. 🙂
Thank you 🙂
