Llangefni Reservoir

Winter Poem about relaxing in natural surroundings

Llangefni Reservoir

The icy waters still to a silent film,
Crunching footsteps echo in muffled undergrowth
Mango mountain slopes warm the grey horizon
With beams of life; melting the choking valleys.

The flight of a Lapwing breaks the stilled skies,
His long black spiky crest contrasts the snowy space,
Fawn grass’ gently sway against the scott’s pine,
A smirk sneaks upon my face,
Somehow calming time.

This brief breath of crisp belonging
Stamps only too short a stain on the mind
My time refuses to slow, cannot creek and flow
I have modernized my soul to hurtle through this
Time.

I close my eyes, open my being...
Memorize.
The calling of a gull,
The chill of this winters breeze, Soaks deep into the soul,
Departing this world in ease
