A precious visitor

She blew in on the South wind
Settling on a branch, twisted dry with time


She found a home where she could rest


 Camouflaged against the wall outside number 34


Perched atop gnarled branches in terracotta


Watched over by a Sage in sun-kissed grey


She'll stay until the next sea breeze, when
she'll continue her journey
only to pause at some other door.

    You are so correct! Sometimes there is such whimsy to be found so close if you just take time to look for it.
