KyPoetry - Lyrics

Afternoon Tea

lyrics and music written by Kylyra

from the album 'Purple'

There is movement in the trees.

A flash

A flicker of fanciful colour

And wings -

The birds are out for their afternoon tea.

They bob and whirl

A softly muted kaleidoscope

Changing patterns through the garden;

They come to gossip

And watch the washerwoman

In the window as she works,

Smiling.
