Can a bird trespass?

Can a flower cause offence?

Who can build a nest?

Where once were hedges

Now solitary oak stands

All fields become one

And so we begin

Our path away from the sun

Soak in all you can

From thorny tendrils

Bright blossom and black berries

Bloom in defiance

A new leaf is turned

Another summer yearned

Same lessons unlearned

Elusive sunsets

Forever beyond my reach

What am I doing?

The green apple shade

Gently nodding overhead

I turn and hide again

When I turned around

The sunset had disappeared

Leaving only sky

Watch my thoughts unfurl

Clouds forever in motion

Unravel, set free

When the water falls

And the thunder claps refract

The rain into bows

How the years roll by

Suddenly away they fly

These are the good days

Clasping spirals curl

Twisted tightly together

In a hurricane

Smooth seas carry me

Green grass anchors my bare feet

Where the sky begins

Turning with earth

I transfigure pale sunlight

To seed galaxies

High in the cliff face

Cut from the Cambrian plate

A hidden door waits

A hedge is for food

Gates are just a climbing frame

To us wild creatures

Come into the wind

That runs all along the Mynd

Let it fill your wings

Lead me to the land

Of gardens overgrowing

Tables overturned

When I went to bed

The sky was burnt dragon red

Now I am instead

Hang my heavy head

Trace my steady trudging tread

To a stony bed

A door in the cliff

An entrance to what comes next

Or an escape hatch?
