Polar Wood ...

The wind blew through the wood -

Bare trees sang with soft voices -

Lichened stones enclosed hawthorn and elm -

Smoke from a bonfire rose up from the deep valley -

A kestrel flew towards the sea -

Here, in a few months time, there would be bluebells in the wood -

Mazy paths through the blueness -

The scent of the flowers -

Cool air in the shade -

The rich earth warmed by the sun -

Promises to be held close -

Tokens of innocent summers -
