Walking on the Tor.
When it came,
has never gone away,
a fair maid,
a damson tree.
A bridge of carved painted hewed wood,
from the chalice to the hill,
she sings for love,
of all our will.
A stopping place,
where poems may be writ,
seats of rushes,
lantern lit.
I lay down presents for those that wake to the stars,
six pitches at the seat of Mars,
that gipsy braid,
made us all,
is saved.
A child fills her flowing pitcher,
all is light,
remembering that Wally Hope;
a donkey brays,
old Brock leads the way.
An hopeful man who looks after retired chickens
and gives a bed to dreaming travellers,
mid winter on the Levels.
