A new summer was here at long last
it was hot and dry.
No more thought of those winter days
that first cycle ride.
Into the shrinking countryside alone
nice to be on your own.
Finding a quiet lane inhaling warm air
remembering your youth.
The population sparse villages small
you stop at a sign.
Leading to a footpath rising to a hill
a challenge to fulfill.
A faint humming boosts your senses
that moment to relax.
Easing the stresses of daily existence
and channelled thoughts.
A day of unknown futures everywhere
no time to prepare!
From that high point a panoramic spectacle
feeling like a god.
Looking down upon his flock from on high
lost and floundering.
With so much discord in his own creation
near to obliteration!
Disturbed by the thought of man’s disintegration
making your way back.
Along the track from tranquility in to uncertainty
and dangers of living.
That short break giving you hope of a solution
to our total pollution!
Love, Respect, Care and Hope is this within us?
The Foureyed Poet.
