The hilltop view amazing
Emerald green fields for miles
Copses of trees and stonewalls
Repeated across the isles .
*
Blue sky above me
Whispering winds breeze by
Subtle majesty of heaven
On earth before me lies.
*
Trickling streams from the summit
Flow together in crystal clarity
Down below me in the valley
Bringing life from their capillaries .
*
Onwards into a lough
Wild waters deep and free
A haven for beautiful wildlife
With no intervention from me .
*
The wild places across our lands
Are best observed from a remove
So they can get on with the business
Of living life, beautiful and free .
*
The more wild space we leave
With no meaningful encroachment, left free
The more our lands will thrive
For our children’s children to see.

Standing While Falling
Quotation from Friedrich Nietzsche "He who wrestles long with monsters should beware lest he himself become a monster. And if you gaze long into an abyss, the abyss also gazes into you. Man is not destroyed by suffering, but by the meaning he makes of it."
