July is Flowing By…

July is flowing by, all drip, no dry, and the mood has shifted, did you feel it? The collective sigh? And the sigh said, it’s late now for rallying cries for blue skies.

July is flowing up, up from the green earth, over the peoples hopes, reflected in birds eyes, down from the grey skies, swelling the water supply.

July is flowing by……I think I’ll flow with it.

    Love it, love it, love it!!!

    BUT

    Don’t give up!
    It’s never too late!
    Don’t accept this watery fate!

    Up, up, up,beyond the clouds,
    Serene and powerful, lazing and blazing,
    Slowly burning her way through the grey
    Comes the sun in August with sweet summer days

    … we hope x

    • The Fall (A Poem) August 23, 2026
      The air changed first, then came the feeling known to every living thing, the change in season. And from that moment, no matter how the garden grew or hot the sun shone it was autumn. Summer gone and with it energy and freshness, no more the symphony of long grass but of insects. The bright […]

When she was young she had wanted different things, money, career, to be anywhere but here. To be somewhere with a pulse, where things happened, not buried, drowning in the dregs of another […]
