Wildmoor Heath Boardwalk Crossing

SLOW MOVEMENT Move out from tall trees - to wider scene now Tympanic rhythm - andante theme As footsteps beat on - path of the Ash beam In diverse prospect - wet levels gleam Look to the surface - life is reflected Now mirrors brightening - skies cerulean See over there the - new view surveyed now Past tawny grasses - strewn by wind laid Birch saplings dapple - hazel and apple Amber the dry fern - dashed now with jade Where silver stems - surround sun-bright vale there Small stream descends in - glistening cascade Over above In - slow closing distance Land rises to - overlook languid fen Our destination - draws our steps on to Reach barrow slopes - fields of wider ken So measured pace continues ‘til then While spirit moves to hilltop ascend
