My Refuge from the World.
Once a place of dirt and industry, of sweat and labour, like me it transformed.
Where Victorian men toiled in cap and weskit and gravel piled in pyramids,
Geese and swan glide to compete for bread crusts and seed.
Herons stand immobile, frozen in time, till, startling the surveyor, they seize the prey.
Above all trees stand sentinel, ancient guardians, towering above all, beneath all.
Many come to jog or walk, dog lease in hand, but they do not know it as I do.
I know it’s seasons, its ebb and flow.
I know where the herons nest, where the kingfisher comes to ply his trade.
I know where the wild iris grows, the generations of robins that dwell among the holly.
I’ve traversed the lakes in summer, sun on my face, wind catching the sails.
I’ve walked the paths in winter, in snow and rain, misty mornings and blood-red sunsets.
Like a lover, I know this place, its moods its secrets. The things it hides from others.

I would like to share this poem about my home.
A Grey Place?
This is a grey place,
there’s no denying.
Grey slate, grey granite,
grey houses built of both.
And it rains a lot, there’s no denying.
Vertical, or horizontal, or swirling rain
falling greyly from heavy misty clouds.
But when caught by a sunbeam
it makes glistening slides
shimmering across the slate
and falls in bright white tails
or snakes like silver
where the mountains leak it.
And spills heavily over rocks,
it’s foaming, frothing, yellow ruffed
cascades catching rainbows as they crash
then spitting them back out
in a fine spray of colours.
And now there’s no grey
in the dark blue, black sky
filled with gold and silver twinkles.
No grey at all in this place now,
there’s no denying.
Lynn White
