On my walk today
I pass: Old cottages with colour spilling over walls Blackberries ripening – Sodden fields where doe-eyed cows study me as they chew. I walk: On a thousand year old track under a million year old hill. I step: On tarmac, pebble, mud and grass and cross puddles on stones and streams on wooden bridges. I see: Sunlight glinting on green and speckled leaves and try to catch one as it falls. I hear: Water rushing a tractor idling birds chirruping. I taste: My hot coffee and later, a cold ice-cream. My feet are damp, my heart is warm and dry, I am in awe of these ordinary things just footsteps from my door which are in truth, incredible.
