I broke from sleep to a morn still shrouded deeply in the mist
and ventured from my shelter in search of sun
Through the gorge I made my way by riverside and iron bridge
and sort out path rising steeply, buzzard gliding; rabbits run
The vegetation steamed before me as I crossed the river broad
swirling beneath me thick and black
A forest in reflection rose as my gaze ascended
and bade me welcome as the dawns bird song answered back
Concealed in canopy I moved by a shared trail
print of claw and hoof proceeded my tracks
The saturated woodland thick around me giving glimpse;
a flash of a world sunkist, beyond my current aspect
With racing pulse I greedily pursued the summit veiled
but immanent in arrival, the earths breath revealing
the firmament, virginal, purged of all impurity
this vision now born to me, no longer concealing: a mornings exploration
and ventured from my shelter in search of sun
Through the gorge I made my way by riverside and iron bridge
and sort out path rising steeply, buzzard gliding; rabbits run
The vegetation steamed before me as I crossed the river broad
swirling beneath me thick and black
A forest in reflection rose as my gaze ascended
and bade me welcome as the dawns bird song answered back
Concealed in canopy I moved by a shared trail
print of claw and hoof proceeded my tracks
The saturated woodland thick around me giving glimpse;
a flash of a world sunkist, beyond my current aspect
With racing pulse I greedily pursued the summit veiled
but immanent in arrival, the earths breath revealing
the firmament, virginal, purged of all impurity
this vision now born to me, no longer concealing: a mornings exploration
That must have been a wonderful walk.
ReplyDeleteIt was the nicest start to a day I have had in a long time! If you are ever over that way I recommend a visit to Ironbridge.
