| Outdoors by © tricksterwombat This is something that happened to me a few months ago..but I have something else in mind-just need to get it down.. ------------ The sun was a bloom of sweet tangerine; lighting the last whispers of the day with heat song. The slight gasp of wind played around my ears and told me Winter was coming-but not just yet. The chittery sparrow jumped and squeaked throughout the Laurel tree drooping with cinnamon smelling flowers. I finally looked up at him and calmly asked: "Well, what?" Nothing, he just wanted me to notice how brave and beautiful a sparrow he was. Then he flew away appeased. I went to throw away the old cardboard box that was so sun dried it fell apart like dried leaves. There was a Black Widow that had made a cozy web in the box. She was beautiful, and I told her so. I carefully picked her up with a piece of wood to let her go somewhere else she would not be disturbed. As I walked to the Laurel tree, she walked all over the wood. I stopped to watch her move. She shined like a new car that had just been lovingly washed and waxed. She moved her legs like a ballet dancer. Reaching the edge of the wood, she stopped and put up one leg-feeling for purchase. She just held it there. So I put my finger up to her leg and gently ran it down the tip. She picked up her leg and gently put it on top of my finger. I felt like I'd just been hugged by my Grandmother. ------------------------ Lynnette |
