Today there is nowth but sunshine
Cloudless sky, bird song
Dog panting, seeking shade
Cattle flaked out in pastures green
A picture postcard scene
The bleet of sheep can be heard in distant fields
Farm machinery being transported, land to be tilled
In a nearby field horses drinking from a trough of water
Butterflies, colours of the rainbow on a mossy bank
A murder of crows kicking up a racket in a forest of nests
Silver birds leaving white trails behind, bound for foreign parts
On the beach no sign of carbon footprints.
