Kinship.
Among sun-dried clifftops
we youngsters once played.
Made tree-house finds our
special hideaways.
Chased over moorlands
to touch new lamb tails.
Explored shoreline drops
to under-sea caves.
We stole carefree hours
without any guilt
Time for shared pleasures
only once given.
Took then daring risks
known now as senseless.
Changed simple kinship
to grown indifference.
