A Shepherds Hut

A shepherds hut located in an idyll

close to where

the road from Ashridge transverses through

Hudnall and does share

the convenience and countryside

a statement that does say

the forest is spectacular

in every single way

 

up the gravel, 2 paddocks

which ,may come to be

“Yates” and “Pi” those 2 they fly

and their welcome is the key

 

then as if by magic

the towering Leylandi

a Shepherd’s Hut resplendent

in the winking of an eye

 

spontaneously a great Oak

leaps up into the sky

memories of the time it rained down

acorns from on high

but still did climb

to oversee

the manor  to shadow

and to shine

upon the slate grey hut 

the pretty pots

that  look  divine

 

comfortable and cosy

peaceful, snug, it be

welcoming and homely

a place where harmony

exists its pure and simple

its manna close to where

its tranquil and its pastoral

its secluded, so be aware

 

its like a dream

a constant

that inclination for

a little place to hideaway

and its all outside your door

 

the wild life comes to calm

to gladden and exhilarate

so listen to the birdsong

on those balmy days and wait

 

“Yates” and “Pi” their energy

they share

as off they run

sampling the fresh green grass

and just loving the sun

 

so close to Ashridge forest

where Muntjak and where Deer

its lovely trees

just feel that breeze

breathe

and it does appear

 

along the valley on the Gade

the Downs too, not that far

and all of this a home from home

where your seen as the star

 

recuperation from the stress

of life, well possibly

a gift of pleasure from the offset

just tranquility

even a bracing quality

of life helps you restore

the faith, yes in humanity

that you might have lost before

 

Just share those gifts of Nature

Just suck in that fresh air

Feel Leylandi’s message

The Oak too, so aware

the Deer, they,the wild children

the Wood Pigeons they coo

Just sink back in the healing arms

of Nature

and just view

 

a life a million miles away

from the life that fills today

this shepherd hut is a magic carpet

that will spirit you away

everything is out there

everything will be

euphoric its so lovely

so revealing actually

 

 

a place of contemplation

and inspiration too

and its not contrived

its creative

its imaginative, all through

 

reflect perchance to ponder

or to wander in a glade

conceptive  even meditative

allow yourself to fade

to just be part of all of it

to soak it up and be

engrossed in all its contemplation

and true harmony

 

Jeannette’s on hand to help

if needs be

she lives over yonder

the stables and the paddocks

will make your heart grow fonder

for what is truly a concept

of circumstance and care

you can relax and do whatever

suits you and just share

 

its  an idyllic  setting

so close to Nature, and

within a hare’s breath

of a forest, to help you understand

Berkhamsted with its History

and Tring are both close by

Little Gaddesden and the

villages, which of course, is why

you have found a paradise

for this is where you will

be tucked away and resting

in a Shepherds hut until

 

you choose to leave

you choose the time

you feel the need to go

but always remember the Shepherds Hut

will be here for you

you know.
