Walk along the Ridge Way

by Fox Hill.

 

 

Peeping Sun

was faint

above

clouds,

as birds

chirped

on the

breeze,

 

hearing

them sing,

I'm sure

I captured

a whisper

of joyous

times

ahead,

 

then...

as burning

planet slowly

disappeared

we gazed

out on

the

view,

 

those fields

of rapeseed,

barley

too...

alone

two figure,

just me

and you.

We stopped there once to break a long journey with a walk. Nice feeling of space around you up there too isn't there, with far veiws? Your poem gives a sense of being up and away with just each other's company, and time at a standstill, alone in a lovely world. Your hip must be doing well. Rhiannon

Hi Rhiannon,

I'm so glad you know the area I'm on about, it makes the poem even more special. Like you say it's so peaceful up there and we climbed to the top of the hill where we had a panoramic view...wonderful.

My partner retired from work two weeks ago, so now we have all the time in the world, which means we don't have to rush anything.

We've been going somewhere every other day and my hip is doing really well...thankfully I hope it stays that way.

My partner's love is fishing and we've been out to some beautiful lakes. Yesterday we went to check out a new one where he can do night fishing with his son. We saw a king fisher which I've never seen close up before. Again it was a lovely sunny day with plenty of trees for shade.

Many thanks for stopping by to read and sharing your thoughts.

Jenny.

Places for fishing must be very peaceful – places to sit and think, or just sit! The only place I've seen a kingfisher close to was at Slimbridge wildfowl centre, and it was just perched across a little canal, and a crowd watching it. Often I think my husband has said something like - did you see that flash of blue cross the river, but I hadn't! So glad your hip is taking you out well. Rhiannon
