Last night I went to bed and stayed up late listening to music and thinking.
Then, sometime during the night, I realized it was gently raining.
I turned off my headphones and went to sleep.
Then I woke up again sometime later. and noticed
(More like got freaked out by)
The thunder and lightning.
The last thunder boom I heard was a
Boooommmmmm rumblerumblerumble...
BOOOOOM
A boom I could feel in my bones.
I listened for a while.
But as I was drifting off to sleep, I noticed a high squeak/tweet noise that was repeating itself over and over.
Stweet... Stweeeet.... STWEET... Stweeet... Stweet...
I imagined a smal light blue bird hiding, terrified in the not-very-leafy or sheltering bushes outside my window, getting colder and colder and wetter and wetter..... Maybe a baby bird, all alone....
Then, a few minutes later, they stopped.
I waited a few minutes longer, but the stweets did not resume.
As I fell asleep, I imagined the little birdie finding shelter in a small hollow near our house underneath a safe, secure bush safe from rain underneath the high, protective leafy canopy.
I could almost see my dream-birdy smiling.
