Life Abounds

Every morning I walk over the hills down to the sea The blue water crashing in onto the rocks Seagulls circle, dive and play in the surf I imagine sometimes that it’s all here for me The mist is rising from the shoreline now Colours abound, a vision to preserve From the mountains beyond, down through the glen All life is here to see, to enjoy if time allows If mountains could speak, tales from the past People, history and events of the years Fantastic knowledge there to be learnt From a natural and ancient library so vast The glen it divides the mountains so great A fierce battle once raged upon this ground The salmon still swim within the water To rise and spawn and proliferate The sea so powerful, rolling from within Carries it’s force from the far distant shore Supporting creatures in translucent blue Everywhere around life is happening
