November, and we walk a track
that winds along the chalk escarpment
winter thrushes throng empty fields
scavenging for food
their calls sparkle the air
This year has taken much
but not yet the fresh air

Thank heaven for the outdoors, the fresh air, the solace of the beauty, balm to our souls. While humans assault our peacefulness, nature always soothes and restores……..I wish humans would learn to do the same. Smiles.

Thank you for taking me on that walk along the chalk escarpment, Kim. It’s just what I needed this cold Sunday morning, especially the thrush calls sparkling the air.
