Opening up our eyes

The sight the sound the smell the feel of green

The flowers the birds the trees the inbetween

The ancient pathways leading to the lake

I climb up Orrest Head, for old time sake

Perceptions become dulled as we mature

We lose  more simple treasure every year.

We rarely see the other as they are

Our minds are fixed, our images grow bare.

I wander down the hill with wondering eye.

Feel my senses stroked by sun and sky

As I lie in bed on summer Nights

I remember natures fierce insights

In this unknown glory I must lie

The lion will love the lamb before he dies
