Country View From A City Bloke

Blue sky filled with clouds of cotton
Reminding me of childhood
Simple times now forgotten
Gentle breeze, flickering leaves
Sweet scents linger in the early summer air
A time to savour, a moment to share
Birdsong a back drop to the tranquil scene
Pools of water in a sea of green
Sheep bleating amongst flock
Steep hills rising to outcrops of rock
A Mallard breaks water in a V shape
An undulating landscape where ramblers escape
Ruddy faces from rural places
Voices of old, both rich and bold
Back to the city
The pollution and smoke
Musing on the vagaries of life
The view of a regular bloke
