Mountain

We saw the view from Langdale to the sea
Windermere, a riddle ten miles long
Coniston a question of degree
Old Man standing like a  children’s song

The risky climb, the tough hand that saved me
The energy of youth and the unknown
The  boldest child, the future poetry
By the shape of hills ,I’m overthrown

The shock of beauty  and the cliffs of rock
The slope as sheer as  silk, the mirrored poem
The sturdy heart that startled with its knock
The  pensive soul that brought these wishes home

On the highest peak’s edge, we   lay down~
Closed our eyes to  hear the   sheep bells sound
