One Horseshoe
When western winds in my ear sing
The memories of rivers bring
A horseman
Cut of rough land and bronze timber
Surefooted walk, lean and limber
Horsepower
I fumbled where he was at ease
Our hands would touch in flirty tease
Of horseplay
Through golden grass, me and my guy
Galloping free to chase the sky
On horseback
Now, in my city life, I keep
Over my bed,

Fairfield Horseshoe (Cumbria)
Three hours of grassy scramble
attain Fairfield horseshoe
enveloped by immense landscape
an awe inspiring view
gentle glow upon my cheek
expelled from summer's ray
the timid breeze encircles me
this wondrous month of may
twirl to ambitiously consume
breathtaking panorama
the vastness of the rambling fells
create pure natural drama
I rest upon Saint Sundays crag
a scene which saturates
Helvellyn rises in the distance
cirrus cloud it infiltrates
brown,
