Norton Bavant Reflections by David Houghton
Birdsong awakens you
Mist gently lifts
Across Sir. John’s field
Whilst light seeps
Into your dreams….
The clippetty clop of horse shoe
Old engines growl a stir
In the distance a train mumbles
You listen without a care
No sirens or factory hooter calls
The north is somewhere – up there!
You needn’t have worried
It was never you, so
I'll drink in the depths of the sunlight
Crawling slowly across the lawn
I’ll rejoice at the simplest scenario
Feels like I’ve been reborn
In autumn the pheasants are here
Summer is one long party to ride
When darkness of winter falls deep
We dine at each others in warmth for keeps
The love that grows here
Lives on for ever
The love that lives here
We keep
Norton Bavant – revolving-
A tiny speck
In space and time
A place on the planet
That’s yours that’s mine
Don’t let’s waste
This time.
