My Window View

Outside one of my windows, a bush shields the glass with leaves. There are sprinkles of daylight or night light showing between the leaves during the hot months but in the cold months, the bush is a scrambled web of bare branches.

On summer days, when the temperature is 100 degrees or higher, the shaded green adds a psychological coolness to that of the air conditioning and brings a touch of nature into view.

Bouncing leaves amid the
Still, shade darkened green,
A momentary perch in a
Bird's game, hide and seek.

How deft the player
To remain unseen,
And a dancing twig
Showing where its been.
