Mountain rain

Rain covers an ever changing mountain face. A change of mood cast upon the land. A trip to a country town. A land of miniatures to be sure. Tiny houses and giant sheep in fields of green. A little boy wearing socks on his hands, why protest, just let him be. A warm kiss farewell an artist bound for Africa. Two tiny red heads discussing tractors and trains. Calm before a new day. 

The light tinkle of raindrops on a skylight. A warm cosy nest in a tree with a spiral staircase. Baby bird feeling unsettled. A chick yearning the closeness of his mother. Spoiling or nurturing? A personal decision. Beautiful noises, of feeding and sleeping. Remember those precious noises in later years.
