Staying put


I am not known for being good at sitting still
but today, the sun's warmth,


lured me out to the decking at the end of the garden
where the blackbirds sing loudest,
where the alliums are flowering,


and where the house and its myriad needs
are most distant.

I went with a pot of tea, some maps and walk books,




and let the world come to me.

  1. "I went with a pot of tea, some maps and walk books.." Just how big is your garden?!
    And I approve of your choice of "tea".
