Captured

(By Springtime in South Gower)

 

Can you capture a place in words?

The tug of an emotional pull

And a promise to return

To where you felt complete

 

Towering cliffs joining sea to sky

Aflame with scented gorse and,

Carpeted with sweet springy turf with,

Nodding wildflowers and dancing butterflies

A myriad of colours in fine grandeur

A place to capture an artist’s eye

 

Flit flitting and trilling of the pipits

Warblers accompanying the birdsong melody

Gulls soaring, kittiwakes calling kitti-week,

Kitti-week, sailing the sky over the sea

The rolling surf a soothing lullaby

Can a symphony capture a place?

 

A rocky climb, take heed, take care

The scree loose shifts beneath ones feet

Just one more stride, and there…..

Stretches a view so breathtaking, in awe,

You reach for the camera, to try,

And capture the place in a picture

 

Down into a valley of secrets held,

In quiet solitude, a well worn path

Leading to a treasure chest of golden sands

Warmed by the sun and fringed by the sea

Pulling you to stay, hypnotic in its beauty

It is the place that has captured you

 

I’ve tried to share with you, in words,

That cannot compare, to the splendour,

That cannot be captured, on the walk

From Port Eynon to Rhossilli

 

 

 

Just a Pebble

 

I am just a pebble

upon the rocky shore

A pebble amongst pebbles

lost and insecure

No home have I

no one to love

Just a pebble amongst pebbles

upon the rocky shore.

The sea it washes over me

cools me from the sun

my only chance of freedom

I have no legs to run

to catch it as it leaves me

just a pebble amongst pebbles

upon the rocky shore.

 

A  Moment – Galley Hill

 

Watching, with

eyes squinting

at diamonds glinting

winter sun low

creating a glow

40 carat perfection

set in reflection.
