1.
white chapel on a hill
sheep dot rugged, earthy slopes
ruminate on warm, sun-kissed dale
endless lines and lines of verdant tones
late afternoon sun slanting
behold, jaune compassion
alfalfa ocherous leans willowy in wind
distance of silence yearns on
afternoon shadows lie within majestic vales
powder-blue ranges in 3D tiers
shadowy rifts, like a painting out of heaven
lone tree not alone, reaches up
blinding turns and rust-coloured bends, twisty trails
two on horseback, apples for sale
reservoir as a hold all for all
brown mud is where redemption lies.
2.
sun dips away, out of reach
beyond the eye's catch
step out car
feel the ping of silence, deeply-alive zing
crowd in and then,
into the slot of torched horizon
the orange world slips . . .

feel that deep humming of the car, as we finally decide to roll along that country ride.....yesterday saturn-day :)
redemption humbly sought in the passing of hills and vales
lovely...all along the eastern escarpment of the beautiful Mercy-Valley...not far from Lake Great Bear on southern Jupiter :)
yet evening cold can sink so hard and fast in the countryside (best be prepared :)
away from all the noise and bustle - rolling, green dales and oh blue, blue, blue....
sub-entry:
'sudden cold'
1.
how dreaded that sudden coldness
press downward
crouch tight upon shoulder
drape your chilly cape over me
clench your claws into soft flesh
hover abrupt around nostrils
whisper icy whittler-words
sinking into pores, settle on
pinched nose-end, fingertips and toes
from across the chasm, silent eyes admonish
burning freeze stick so hard
hug disfavoured hart
oh cold silence, how you **** me!
2.
envelops round me
try in vain to wrap my head around this
warm heart
take this thing and throw it in the dump
(can't
just can't)
3.
blanket of love
whopping oblivion away
seek still
to redeem.
