Hottest and driest Spring.  It’s getting real:
dry soil’s already dust – it’s only June.
Unease alone seeps, our dry souls feel 
damp fear.  However this all ends, it’s soon.

But not today.  Look round!  The sky cloud-wisped, 
deep-shaded hedge, shadows of Shropshire hills.
Listen!  The soft, assuaging trees whisper
“the world is old beyond imagining.  
Be still”.

There are some wonderful town names in Britain, Shropshire has to be one that is so fun to say.It goes so well with the shadows and shading trees. Lovely. J :)
