cold, meditation, painting, poem, poetry, tea, weather

the wind changed to the east
so suddenly
my fingers as blue as the shed
the meditation
became a distant state of mind
now hurrying
to complete a second coat
contemplating
a large mug of hot tea

A day of rhythm
painting a garden shed sky blue
each stroke a transformation
smooth sweeps and swirls
the odd stab into corners,
care for resident spiders
meditative bliss
