I Recall One Summer

I recall the river Wharfe, black crows caw
Swaying meadows dance to opulent breeze,
To wander within summer’s clothes she wore
And merging clouds the canopy to tease
When rain on nature’s cloak does gently please.
I recall fields of jade in sun lit dew
The summit of the Beacon’s striking view,
To taste the odours of woodland rambles
Witness the swallows beneath skies of blue
While wood mice wait of fruit laden brambles.

You are a poet of gold sitting next to silver, and the sun, ell the sun belongs to you today. Rays of light inside your soul, happiness your only goal. Have a precious day Harry *
