Thunder headed brooding knoll

heathered black and heavy green,

ravined by waters cutting edge

flushing silver silted streams.

 

Pebble bright mosaic gullies

delta into waiting hollows,

water, smoothing grey silk slime,

flooding meadows, forming pools.

 

Bog grass floats a yellow raft

birches filter curlews cry,

fallow slots, precision printed,

sharp, divided, water filled,

 

Shadows glide on silver sand,

nomadic cultures meet and greet,

a secret place, a fragile land,

where voices hush

                                   and 'dreamers' meet.
