Skulking into shadows,
wind my only companion.
Fields brown and sage,
rolling off to
the horizon, hung
with racing white
clouds, astride
a silent land.
Harsh granite stones,
peppering an ancient earth.
Hunting grounds of
yesteryear, now hunted
by tourists and
walkers, bearing poles
and dangerous bright clothing.

At the touch of love, everyone becomes poets. Plato 427 BC-348.

This flows really well, which is one of the reasons I was engaged by it.  I really like the way you described the change from nature to people.  Look forward to more posts.  Nicely done.

Even the blind could see through your vivid descriptions, never have known or seen before, they could paint the pictures by listening to your words.

J. M. Barrie, the playwright, may have said it best when he wrote, “God gave us memories so that we might have roses in December.”
