Well Met on CastleMorton Common

4/6/2019

Abundant Dog Rose & Buttercup

Shield the fragile Orchid

Hiding in pale violet amongst the vivid greens

Foxglove and clover,

Ferns all unfurling, masses of

Honeysuckle, shelter beneath the Cracking Willow

The soft low of cattle, notes of Blackbirds that ring,

The cry of the Chiff -Chaff,

Call to my senses and

Make my heart sing

Castlemorton Common, once

Playground of Kings

Now, in Summer Glory, Ragged Robin’s Pink Stars,  the rustle of wings, wild vetch,

sneezewort and

blue pimpernel a background of brambles and blue sky, scudding with clouds that

all swirl and swell.

Behind me, I sense a silence,

I turn around to find

A lady with camera held in her hand.

Surrounded by flowers, trees and great space,

We, both, searching out Orchids and looking for

Grace, in wild places,

Where Nature abounds.

We stop and we chat like any two creatures

meeting in Nature amongst Nature’s sounds

We stop and we chat , shared wonders surround us

We, In each other, a certain peace found

Well met Susie, I wish your life well

The less trodden places

Are  where our hearts dwell .
