CWM GRAIG DDU
Yesterday the ravens were dancing.
Now, this east wind has scoured the skies
To a perfect frozen blue.
Dark, bruised by cold,
Cwm Graig Ddu, sunless, looks out,
Dreaming of rivers.
Its sheep: philosophical rocks,
Waiting for Spring.
—
Bitter cold.
Bright sunlight.
Trees dream
In the dark valley.
—
Hours pass.
Gazing out.
Hunting words.
—
Calibration of sorrows –
A mountain view.
—
An empty road
Still finds its destination.
All music sits upon its silence.
A sweet sap comes after winter sleep.
By slow breath the cauldron bubbles.
—
I love the description of the sheep as ‘philosophical rocks’!
Taa!
