5.45pm
Each day oscillates from the day before,
from gloom and rain to hot wind and glorious sun.
The tussle of summer and autumn.

2.50pm
Oh glory that is late summer haze
 and mountains bathe in milky pools.

We awaken to find we are lost in a silvery mantle of rain.
All day.
Finally.

7.15pm
A balmy, sunny day,
and then as dusk gathers round us....
Swallows.

The beginnings of a chill is settling into the earth, into our bones.
Autumn has crept in the door and lies at our feet now.

All day the rain eludes us,
skirting the mountains,
the warm air damp with it's unfulfilled promise.

Darjeeling days, 
warm rain, 
and the clouds graze the mountain tops.

Like an indomitable mother, summer shakes out the clouds,
shoos away the chill, and proudly presents the perfect day.

9.30pm
The sun, it seems has returned,
yet so unexpected the day is almost done before we realise.

Thursday 23 June 2011

The day insists on lingering,
unwilling to give in to night.
