It's as though all the things we hold so dear have been stripped away, revealing a somehow louder sub-world, that is of course, always there, and will be there when soon we are gone. The true world; consisting of bird song, homemade bread, time to make good coffee and think, of better, simple days before this madness that has become the normal daily routine began. <br /><br />They say that we've progressed, then I look how far we've come...

It was a rather amusing moment, a large group of elderly overweight hikers stumbling down steep slippery steps and me barreling past at full speed on the verge.

If I had I would have taken a notebook so I would not have had to tax my memory as I struggled to bring the first couple of stanzas home with me.

The trigger that brings up into words what we've been feeling for perhaps a long while without realising it, or like this, the sudden experience that inspires. I must say, I like the bleak/sparse nature of this poem. Conjures the threat of winter really well.martinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10367737919918764275noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-883131172123152234.post-52566492701652291342019-07-18T22:29:16.971+01:002019-07-18T22:29:16.971+01:00Beautiful.
