I know a place
on the side of the hills
where the bluebells offer
a carpet of magic
beneath silver birch.
How I long to sit
beneath slim boughs
and luxuriate
in natures springtime
rebirth.
Covid lockdown brings
a longing for those
wonders which once
were so easily taken
for granted.
From these trying
bad times comes
some good then
as it teaches us
to appreciate our
beautiful planet.
Now we could start afresh
to look after it.
