CUMBRIA'S EDGE

If dreams could come true!

                    CUMBRIA'S EDGE

Oh to be at Cumbria's edge,

where land meets sea!

With the brace of wind upon your face.

Oh to bathe in sunlit beams and embrace its grace.

to taste a salty kiss on anxious lips ...

when swish of swaying grass brush happy finger tips.

Alone I sit on bench for three

I look around and think of thee.

Imagination takes a ride>>>

I fly to you, bring you by my side

and feel your energy within.

Anxious toes hug shoreline sands.

What fun it is to climb up grassy bands!

Oh to rest exhausted body pon greenest land!

Reactivate those dormant dreams.

Let them explode in vibrant song.

I am alive, renewed and strong!

You took me to Buttermere Looking across the lake at the Red Pike range Fleetwith Pike to the left, with the cross which marks where the poor servant girl fell many years ago. Round the corner into Warnscales where the slate miners rode the heavy sleds loaded with freshly quarried slate

Thank you

[kitty]

In love with a country so beautiful and green much to do, much to be seen. Great visits still clear in mind! Thanks for adding to the knowledge I hold so dear.

Yes I got two jobs - one on the outskirts of London with much higher pay and another here on the west coast just outside the Lake District > Money couldn't compensate for the life here

Nature rules!

This seems to me a very heartfelt poem Kitty. Its impossible to disentangle place with earlier memories. In happier times its easy to forget that it might not always be so. Its easy to say life must go on but its not always that easy.
I liked this poem and it made me think of places I had been.
All the best,
Alan

What an uplifting experience the sun can be after a period of inclement weather or mood. You took me to Cumbria with you kitty, and I was on that bench with you admiring the view. A good to be alive poem.

[Lea Sheryn]

You take me there! :-)))

[kitty]

Thank you so much for this visit. Glad I am able to bring the beautiful scenes I captured with my family while visiting a lovely country not far in likeness to the country of my birth.

[Lea Sheryn]

You're welcome. You certainly did capture it beautifully.

[AYVID N]

With your words, you take the reader there. I felt the sun and the sea and I felt happy, right here in a closed space in my office. Great poetry brings the reader alive.

[kitty]

Putting myself right where you are: it was in 2001 0r there abouts that , in reminising, I created one of my much liked pieces - just looking out the window of my office onto a convent surrounded by colorful trees! One particular copper birch was in full view! No relevance maybe. Thank you for this memory and your welcome visit.

[AYVID N]

To me it’s of relevance. How a small bit of nature’s beauty can help one weave poetry. I find your words very inspiring. It was a pleasure to read you.

[kitty]

Thank you so much for dropping in.

[John Alexander McFadyen]

I could have been in Cornwall by the Fowey in this one. I could see the lone figure sitting looking out at the water and longing, dreaming. A flowing rhyming piece full of salty tears washed away by the power of the sun.

[kitty]

Don't know why but your review put a warm smile across my would be sad face. Glad you picked up on the mood! The seaside/beach has that power over this writer. Thank you.

[John Alexander McFadyen]

Glad it put that smile across your face Kitty. I am a sun worshiper who has often found solar solace, so I relate.

[kitty]

Sunshine relly does a lot to elate our being.
