Dolgellau

A magical valley

surrounded by hills

ancients and modern

And  bird life that spills

sea birds and Wood Pigeons

Buzzards Jackdaws

blue tits and sparrows

and thunderous applause

from the jets out of Anglesey

cutting the sky

house martens swallows

each one with a sigh
Dunnocks

and thrushes and black birds

No lie

The mountains take heed

the mists  come and go

stone form the bone

and the strength that’s on show

wallers backs bent

muscles becoming

Bold interlocking

And curiously numbing
