I sit in my garden
and start to write...
thinking a million
words take flight,
I look as the wind
sweeps through trees,
the sweet smell of roses
lives on soft breeze,
so what care have I
of clouds in the sky,
fragrance of Lavender
as I brush by,
a teacup of happiness
as I quench my thirst...
from out of my head
those words need to burst,
paper scattered in
bits on the ground...
Sunday's so quiet
no neighbours around,
Sparrows come to
drink their fill...
as I sit here
perfectly still.

This is beautiful, Jenny;-) I particularly like 'a teacup of happiness'. Pour one for me too, please. Milk and no sugar, thank you;-)
Seriously though, much enjoyed and and I think the last stanza clinches it beautifully.

Thankyou Tina,
this was written as I sat in my garden yesterday,
it was so peaceful and tranquill, just the wind
for company, Oh! and the birds.
I'm glad you liked the line about the teacup of
happiness.
Thankyou for reading and commenting.
Jenny.

goes.

Sounds like you had such a great Sunday Jenny- you captured the atmosphere so well- I like "a teacup of happiness" too. Such a good expression- you just invented a new saying
