Pastrual Quilt
Pastoral Quilt.
A pastoral quilt
Of varied greens
And russet tawny browns
Surveyed by adoring eye
On verge of a hill
High above he ground
The provaling wind
Reddens my cheeks
With a slight bite
And tussles my hair
As I breath in the pure clean air
Towering sisters of mountain rocky outcrop
Tor and hill
Forever still
Linier lines of old dry sandstone walls
Border the fields and rustic barren moor
Weathered and peppered with with moss and lichen
Permiate the landscape wild and raw
As ravens shrike
And falcons on thermals sore
Lilac heather
Glades Give shelter to critters
From temperamental bitter harsh weather
And paints a lovely variegated scene
Views and picked by countless others
Overseen by
Couples in love
Lost in a dream
Small cotton woolly dots grace majestically
On idle pasture
As a barren wiry tree
Stretches ever upwards
For the live giving sun to replenish it’s leaves
Rugged wild and timeless Inhospitable
Weather changeable
Within the blink of an eye
A place where survival is paramount
Death a mere whisper and daily occurrence
As time goes by
Untameable unsustainable
Beauty to heart soul and eye.
