Raven-light
Out of a stormy night
Dark and forbidding
A low-rumbling croak
A black cross
Tumbling from heaven
Like an outcast angel.
The morning brings
A heavy sky
The light rising
From the soaking ground
Knapweed and buttercups
Meadowsweet, Yarrow
Blackberries shine
Bright eyes in the ditch
Rain-dropped and sparkling.
Goldfinches, twenty two
Twinkling, tinkling
Scattering tinsel and glitter
Over the lanes.

I love that description of goldfinches. I’ll thank them today - they seem especially brilliant yellow this time of year.
