Dressed by sky and ground
poetic timeless hills
earthy seasonal colours
rough grasses, bilberry - textures of ling
appropriate scenery, daily found
day-wear evening-wear, everything
Knarly living, the hardy survive
Rowan, Scots Pine, Birch, green scattered stars
no frills just hills, majestic and alive
fresh bilberries
baked in a delicious pie
our purple lips smile

'Midst towering fells and tumbling streams
A building stands, not all it seems.
The River Derwent passes near –
So bright and bubbling, cool and clear.
In Sprinkling Tarn it has its birth
Then frolics down for all its worth.
So come with me to Bassenthwaite
To model farm, through wrought iron gate.
Victorian buildings, built to last,
Now house a process from the past.
They're making gin (and vodka, too) –
Let's go inside and see them brew.
Prepared from three ingredients,
A gin of striking elegance
Is manufactured here by Cumbri
With purest water, yeast and barley.
Distilled two times in copper still,
Handmade by craftsman with good will.
And flavoured with botanicals,
Hand-gathered from the vales and hills –
Juniper, heather, bilberry
Brought home to the distillery.
So let your taste-buds have a thrill
And take a bottle to the till !
Those indigo jeans worn this special day
When he invited me on my first date
Very appropriate ~trip to park_ play
Lunch from a vendor sharing plate
As our hands touch, look in his eyes_ see deep
The desire to get closer as knees touch
Feelings transpire, much desire from heartdeep
Overcome with passion's heat, face feels a blush
Such a romantic setting_ lovely pond
Jeweled around neck with water lilies
Flying birds, swans of lake stilled as lovers kiss~bond
Closing kiss, lover friend picks bilberries
Bilberries color of indigo seal kiss
Lips matching jeans~day continue bliss
(Heartdeep is rooted in the heart..Bilberries are closely
related to American Blueberries or Huckleberries..)
