The lanes around Dolgellau
the contours and the hills
Wildness is respected
in honesty it fills
the poets heart each moment
tall trees cover green
solitude and tranquillity
at every roadside scene.
A smile begets. A Smile here
everywhere one goes
A sort of rationality
it keeps you on your toes
vitality it’s viable
survivability
begotten hatched and breathing
all absorbed so willingly.
Our nativity it’s really felt
the vegetable kingdom flourishes
that the greatest god has dealt
Forests woods and coppices
shoots and boughs and leaves
taste and smell the landscapes
the pungency it achieves
much in the way of enjoyment
The sweetness many share
the butterflies the moths and Bee’s
that are really everywhere.
Written after visiting the recycling depot and going up the lanes
at the back of Awelfa in Laura’s car.
