Bamburgh

Aristocrats may have it in their blood. It speaks of deeds both dark and heroic, of evil villains and the truly good, and markers left both kindly and despotic . All were aware of centuries long gone, of conflicts won and lost upon this shore and loves and lives both humble and wellborn, within these brooding walls in days of yore. Majestic symbol in these northern lands, inspiring those who tread the Pilgrims’ Way, who gaze across these shining, shifting sands and know that Bamburgh’s stories live today.

Peter, This poem's heritage, 'Bamburgh'.. never quite lost. Inviting the reader's mind to learn and feet to walk. Entreating the senses to return., to ancestral Northumberland. It calls still. -Richard
