As you drive across the Moors Surrounded by Heather, Moss and Gorse Enjoy the scene before you; rolling hills of many colours Take the time, pull in, step out of your motor Breathe deeply, take time to just be Admire the grazing sheep and ponies Not a care in the world; roaming free
***priceless***
As you drive across the Moors Surrounded by Heather, Moss and Gorse Let your mind roam free Give yourself time for a break; breathe in the clean air Regenerate your mind become for just a moment become free without care
***priceless***
As you drive across the Moors Surrounded by Heather, Moss and Gorse Take note of the palette of colours; Red, orange, yellow, green Painting a most glorious rural landscape scene Breathtaking in its simplicity A million miles difference from the painting of a City
***priceless***
As you drive across the Moors Surrounded by Heather, Moss and Gorse Most of all be thankful, of course That some of our parks are protected from development and modern progress Preserved for us all to see To visit from time to time and just be free
***priceless***
Thank you RPI
Very thoughtful, beautiful poem, Jackie. This poem has a hypnotizing serenity to it that is meditative and therapeutic. If you close your eyes and listen to the words of this poem, it is so relaxing! So easy to drift, drift away! We always love reading your poetry, thank you so much for always sharing with the community!
I really like the near-rhyme rub of 'gorse' and 'colours' in the third stanza.
