Whirl of Timid Phantoms

A decent wordle was prompted yesterday at the Sunday Whirl:

Image: Sunday Whirl

*** 

Birds picking at the dry wood

Announce the hour has struck.

 

Up along the rocky hills

Sweep phantoms

Not daring to walk through new house walls.

 

Although we never hesitate,

Leaping across the brook divide

Between now and forever,

Demands from us exceeding efforts.

 

We still prefer to stick to the hollow

Contract of security.
