A crisp calm early morning, a sunny clear spring day Into old beech wood clearing, ocean sailing underway Lines of rolling waves where tree trunk shadows fall A sea of nodding bluebells, a distant port of call Senses overflowing a sweet scent fills the air Rainforest birdsong chorus a harmonious fanfare Swollen buds full of promise in the canopy abound Feathered emerald leaves unfurling to a choral sound Verdant clouds casting, dappled shade on to the ground Navigating rural landscape, voyage homeward-bound Old sailor sighting landfall a beach of golden sand A field of mustard painted by artistic farmers hand A glimpse through to horizon a tropical island view Vibrant Caribbean colours of yellow, green and blue Parnholt Wood, 25th April 2023
