Tall Shadows
An early evening walk
up and down Gallowber Hill
Warm sun on our backs
no breeze, the air is quite still
Lambs relax in green fields
mellowed by the soft sun rays
Protective sheep keep guard
firmly meeting our gaze
Rabbits take off in flight
safely back to their burrow
Busy birds search for bugs
in and out of wild hedgerow
A break in the weather
no sign of the forecast rain
Late sun in the blue sky
tall shadows cast down the lane

Dark figure follows
your every step
the sun blinks
off he goes.
