On your computer scan in a tree,
leafless in winter, last day of February;
a Mid Wales scene.
To it, add one bird, black, on a branch and face it west.
Copy and paste, numbered as many to a branch.
Add in the sunshine, angle, three in the afternoon;
a cumulonimbus full of snow and its gliding shadow.
It is the image up the lane today
as the snow squall was about to lay;
it did too, blasting through hedge,
row after row; and after it cleared,
the very same tree, I see.
The same birds landing; just like that.
Exactly as they were before.
The scene,
'I’ve saved it on my screen.'
I thought for a moment as the birds were landing;
I was seeing my inner side
like it just unfolded before my very eyes.
My intuition told me; And it is! What I did find?
The light behind my screen saver: of my natural side.
So will I let the Giga drivers rule my life; that’s left!
‘Not while my Nature has got the Bytes right!’
