Walking on the map

Ah,rebellious spirit wanting space

With my finger on the map I paced

I climbed Helvellyn, fell off Striding Edge

Spent a lifetime hanging off a ledge

Then there was reality to find.

Was it is in the world or in the mind?

I saw the water cascade down steep hills

Joy came through my eye without my will

I wish I was a school girl with my dreams

Life is good but love’s not what it seems
