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
I am at peace and my being is whole

Dear June:  It must be wonderful to walk on the moors. Something I'm sure I would enjoy too.  Your poem brings them alive for me.

Love

June,

The title "Alive" is perfect for this poem. That's exactly how it made me feel while I was reading it. Thank you for sharing!
