in my times of uncertainty
where the kingfisher dives for prey
and the otters splash and play
all along the river bank
life hums
mortar and pestle grounding spices
pigeons cooingom rooftops
Athens Kong Fisher waiting and watching
other birds chirping up in trees
a Cockerell crowing in the distance
woodpeckers tottering
tapping
shrill
green parrots take to the skies
in.figber plane formations
the monitor lizard swims languidly by
bullfrog croaking in the long grass
a bluebottle buses by
elephant ears stand at attention
the river water glowing double green
reflecting the trees lining the banks g
that mesmerising sheen of green
broken by a flash of ultramarine blue of of common kingfisher
a shower of yellow leaves falls as if on cue
the curtain calling or falling on this mornings show
what mysteries hide behind those green
the water rippling
hinting at life beneath
the swift swoops low across the river
