Clamber through the hedge

Living on the woodland edge

Spread our wings and fledge

At the sun’s zenith

Shelter in your spreading shade

How am I growing?

The heat haze rises

We wander, wilt and wither

Memories meander

In the long cool shade

We rest our weary limbs and

In the shadows bathe

Swallows dive and swoop

Underneath the mushroom shade

The circle returns

Soak in springtime sun

Fill your ears with sweet sugar

Songs of joy abound

I am the water

And I am the deep blue sea

You can’t keep music
