I see a solitary windmill on the horizon. I can't see its stem, but its petals are clear enough. Moving apace. Chased by winds unseen. And as I watch, they seem to slow, as if the wind has waned. And I expect I told you so's will rejoin the fray, damning the whole enterprise. But I see the intent as worthy of patience, worth my invested expectation. I see the petals power on and they slowly turn again. turn, turn turn, turn pure, power-ballad, turn

Petals
I see a solitary windmill on the horizon. I can't see its stem, but its petals are clear enough. Moving apace. Chased by winds unseen. And as I watch, they seem to slow, as if the wind has waned. And I expect I told you so's will rejoin the fray, damning the whole enterprise. But I see the intent as worthy of patience, worth my invested expectation. I see the petals power on and they slowly turn again. turn, turn turn, turn pure, power-ballad, turn
I'm out of London this week, enjoying West Yorkshires vistas.
