wildflowers stand in the rain colors are striking autumn, before leaves are none
notes: alternate haiku form here… came to me driving around today, yes, there are literal wildflower fields on the sides of the highways here these days (see : this), I saw a patch, and these words popped into my head as is (a splash of color on a dreary wind driven rain day), I have often just wanted to pull over, pull a selfie diving into such fields… but they never come out as you think they should, the hills are not alive with the sound of music, just people laughing at my epic fails falling into such scenery… so maybe I revealed too much…
the gentle but solitary coo of the mourning dove the last ten top feet of copper fading atop the highest trees three quarters full day moon above artfully placed against the blue even surface features visible to this naked eye, and onward the call woo-ah, coo… coo… coo woo-ah, coo… coo… coo robin’s still bickering, over this lullaby a jack’s seasoned camo so sublime even a good size one nearly escapes my view a bird of prey enters the scene across the street I carefully stride forward, closer to identify and get a clean look with a great whoosh down in flight crossing my eyes a falcon’s unmistakable lines for a moment all other sounds commit to silence I was not the only one paying attention.

notes… wrote this sunday night (I thought my post sunday made more sense to post with the St Patty’s theme, call me pandering, I agree), I have some crummy photos of the falcon from my phone, which sucks because I had it framed against the day moon, a huge bird of prey sitting on a perch in my backyard under a day moon… damn I suck, lesson learned, I will bring my SLR out more when I write… but it is so apparent the world is ready to bloom, to explode, I can feel the feeling building each time I go out and listen, spring is ready to break through the not so perma frost, I can feel it.
MUSIC, as always my friends I love to infuse you with my musical madness…
And… to be fair, I was at this show, I have seen many shows in my day (thousands), and I am a total metal head… but this… this… she owned everything from the material, the performance and the crowd…. this was a special night, thank you Tori for all…
Notes… am I past the swoon of a beautiful woman? sure, I could try and be cool smooth internet guy and lie that I have not been led by my eyes (or something else residing lower). But as you get older (hopefully) wiser… you realize (hopefully) that there is beauty in so many places other than obvious pleasing visions. Beauty is nice, it is a lovely component but it certainly does not mean a person is better… and it is all relative. Which would you rather have .. beauty or happiness ?
Music.. I can’t even put into words, how much I love this… Tori, she is just brilliant… and live a revelation…
