Bluebell season : When the colours start to fade
There are still sporadic bluebells to be seen
Occasionally, they are yet in full flower - and, in some places, can even be seen en masse
They are, however, last flowerings – the dying embers of their lively showing
For another season, the time to be with them in bright profusion has passed
In woodlands, the mantle or torch of colour has, nonetheless, been handed on
These flowers, now in blooms, have their own eerie luminescence
More individual, they seem less dependent on available shade and the direction of light
Nothing is for ever ~ Gösta Kraken
The song 'Candlemas Eve' - on one of Kate Rusby's Christmas albums, Sweet Bells - catches this feeling well
