ALIVE

The wind roaring and biting is a perverse kind of pleasure
Out here on the moor as i walk through the heather
Her assertive spirit whips my breath away
And i laugh at her in a mocking way

I am truly alive on days like these
Not for me a soft summer breeze
Wilderness beckons like a sister calling
Alone and free on a cold winter morning

Feet dipped in purple i stand on this moor
At last i am home in this moment so pure
Liberty washes clean my soul
And i am at peace and my being is whole

Nice lively poem. To each his own. I'll take the warm breeze. I enjoyed it though. Love, Joyce

June, this is spectacular. I read it and then went back to highlight a stanza or a sentence and it was all so beautiful, I couldn't seperate one line from another.

How I hope one day l to walk the moors and see the lavender. My ancestry is English and Scot and I want so much to be able to visit my homeland.

Hugs ... Marti
