On the roof top at the No. one square
Temple Quay where locations are set
Seeing breath distance from the train station
Temple Mead; where work men and women
Gallavant at a pace set in motion
Only privileged to the week day's hustle
And just before 0900 and 1730 with starbuck cups
To and fro, to earn their keep
Hunters in suits and ties, in office blocks
"Tic, toc, tic, toc, Burry on the hurry, harry"
Here where nature is altered
And the trees that grounds, what few stands
Are positioned and assigned by architecture
"Placed to stand no higher than prescribed"
And on the roof top, a miracle at No. one the square
A life takes form to perfection of nature
Repeated over the millenia as constant
Hoovering up above on protection duty
The seagulls warns off, intruders to alarm
From what miracle of life they nest
On this busy patch of concrete architecture
Where man runs in chase of time
Nature just carries on with miracles, regardless
Yes, thank goodness Mother Nature beautifully carries on while we humans are so tied up with our whatevers.
ReplyDeleteI love this, especially "Nature just carries on regardless". You have captured the urban scene so well. Love the seagulls!
