Yesterday I went for a walk to see
what we had always known as the old dead tree
but you can imagine my surprise
at the beautiful sight that met my eyes
I stood and rubbed my eyes in disbelief
every old, twisted limb was coming into leaf
then I remembered what my mother once said
that nothing in nature is completely dead
and when old trees finally fall to the ground
their end of life will benefit all around

Does a sparrow chirp
finding no desire to sing

Lying prostrate upon the grass
up above looms a soft-edged mass
brings with it a threat of showers
staring down her grey face glowers
then all at once to my surprise
appears a bright mistimed sunrise
bringing anew a hope it may
drive all the sombre clouds away
and if I’m lucky it just might
change their colour from grey to white.

I’m sure you don’t have to be told
the pleasure gained from listening
enraptured as the songbird sings
though whether it be wet or cold
his notes will shine like liquid gold
from his high perch up in the trees
his joyful tunes ride on the breeze
we can be sure he does not need
a written score from which to read
his repertoire is sure to please.

Not far ahead there stood the hind
so he sank slowly to the ground
in order not to make a sound
his target had been hard to find
but the fates that day had been kind
raising his glasses to his eyes
he saw she had her fawn beside
and if they left the undergrowth
then he could surely shoot them both
because a camera never lies.
