I sit on top of the hill
Nature’s canvas surrounds me,
The greens, yellows and browns
Speckled with white dots.
As I sit here I remember,
Remember those times
When the two of us sat here,
The wonder of our love
Complementing Nature’s glory.
Those days when we walked the Dales
And marvelled in the world around us.
The greens of the Dales,
With the yellows of flowers
And the browns of the woodlands,
Spotted by the white of sheep,
God’s Land filling us with happiness.
As I sit on the hill
Now all I have is memories,
As no more can we share them
Except in our minds eye,
And even now,
As I sit on the hill,
It is now only a dream.

A fine write and clip Gold.
Thanks Orchi.
How lucky you are to have such memories.
I have often dreamt of such moments.
I hope in writing this you have brought back to life a treasure of what is still a part of you.
Thank you Sylvia, yes those memories are precious.
Memories are worth there weight in gold! Bad or good we can look back and learn from them.
Thank you Simon. From our good memories we can get happiness, from our bad ones we get experience and experience cannot be taught.

Thank you A and B, they are special memories, where else in the UK can you walk for over four hours and not see anybody - only sheep.
I felt almost compelled to leave a few words here having read through your poem several times already... you have certainly painted a pretty picture sir, the pair of ya sharing a good old fashioned picnic up there on the hill.. brought back some luverly memories of my own so ya did.. such a shame folk seem to have let this bit of our heritage fade almost into obscurity.. dont know what they are missing, do they.. Cheers to you and your missus...
What a wonderful comment Neville. Those times in the Dales were so special and you are right many people do not remember or even want to go into Nature’s wondrous world.
my very sincere pleasure... I myself have such wonderful memories of picnicking both as a child and as a lover and as a parent... .. I am fortunate to live in the countryside so still have my picnics every now and then....
