A Walk

Nasturtium creeping in the hedge

Blackberry flowers promising fruit

Ivy, green and waxy tangles

I smell the water and the blue eucalyptus

I note the speed of swallows

Sap shining in the sun

Bougainvillea and wild rose falling

Hop-scotch and foxglove inviting

Great bee with glass wings, warming

If this was all there was

Would I be happy all the time?
