nourishes and replenishes dry, not quite parched earth
rides red-gold leaves through eaves into gutters
drips from leaves
trails down darkened tree trunks
washes away dusty dryness.
But today......
Joy springs from the open sky.
Fliers are out in huge numbers ~
Gulls hover in currents at the Point where the wind is the highest.
Parasailor’s fly wind currents in the curve of the shore and bank
bravely miming the grace and strength of the sea birds.
Golden sun glistens, cutting through the wind.
bouncing off curling frothy waves while
flags of thin cloud stream across the broad sky over the channel.
“The winds and the waves are always
on the side of the ablest navigators.”
~ Edward Gibbon
