mr blackbird

mr blackbird sits precariously on his high tower, looking, sensing even knowing something is wrong

Then as if a switch is triggered he is brought to life, there is an urgency to his message, all is not well, you need to listen to me,

take action,
take cover

mr blackbird uses all his energy to proclaim this message, this message that must be heard, despite the bedraggled worn out appearance mr blackbird uses his small frame to jump up and down, flap his wings for all their might, forcing out his message, the echo of his voice reverberating across shed and greenhouse, lawn and flowerbed

​This pulsating red hot message is passed on to other lookouts, there is a cacophony of noise as the message is received and re-communicated.
Then, as if the switch is turned off, peace descends to the garden, the threat has ceased, moved on yet mr blackbird know’s never to rest, next time things could be different……
