out of the grey day she came her red hair falling like the sky

It is one of those grey days where it threatens rain but does not just sits like a sullen child. That line is from the Incredible  String Band who run through my head they deserve a revival but then whats fame worth less than dust. They are nice to listen to and their lyrics paint pictures. There is a mad bunch of birds in the backyard screaming their heads off, you can hardly call lots of Australian birds melodious but they are funny. There will be lots more too when all the inland water dries up they will migrate to the coast. 
I was thinking of the Parliament of Birds a sufi poem by Attar which I have only read bits of of, found there is a Chaucer poem by the same name and Attars poem is know as Bird Parliament. Ah the internet is incredible really the poem was posted in 2007. It is brilliant. Should be a pixar movie. The grey has turned white a bit more cheerful.
