Poem: Ancient Black Down

More mystical than usual; I’ve no idea why.
6th August 2021

Slow tread for steady, ancient black down:
Steps storm rounded, footfall-worn.
Yearning’s ever, draw of sea:
Shore’s call, spirit to free.
Bodies’ reasons, appeals deep-boned:
Magnetic, dreamery, starsign, mood;
Hillspine ley aligns to blood.
