A poetic licence to experiment
Walk softly fear of fairies wake
A moment in their footsteps take
Silence in this lichen land
In wonderment of nature stand .
Lost a moment’s solitude
Scent an air of life imbued
A canopy of rustic shade
Glory at this beauty made.
A thousand years of history
Within a single tree
Let’s marvel at its chemistry
Walk on, let it be.
Recent visits to our local lake. County Roscommon
Let the hedgerows prosper
Wild grasses weave, softly sway
Nature’s children come out to play
Brighten up the dullest Day
In that essential-mindful way.
A beauty that we must display
Dash that driveway to decay
Create a space-a habitat
Wipe our feet on a welcome mat.
Open our eyes it’s plain to see
That cutting down a living tree
Burning forests-killing bees
Will not set us free.
Confine us to a concrete hell
Underneath a corporate spell
Where grey suits mine a money well
Swiss accounts, pockets swell.
Let our countryside survive
Let our hedgerows thrive
Keep that sparkle in our eyes
Turn that corner-it will surprise.

History lies beneath our feet
peel it back – such a treat
bog lands, moors, highlands all
stories that in truth enthral.
There are those who do not care
no respect for values – rare
concrete jungles, carbon copies
felling trees – killing poppies.
Our future lies within the past
lessons learned forgotten fast
take a moment, think about
nature’s beauty – don’t blot it out.

A simple moment in time
The garden came alive with birdsong, Swifts, starlings, swallows swooped swiftly beneath the trembling leaves of chestnut trees. Robins, sparrows, tits were busy feeding on disturbed aphids. Raindrops delicately poised on scarlet fuchsia tips as scattered leaves danced amongst the buttercups. A moment spent in tune with nature.
