Pondering above the Wye

Holme Lacy, south of Hereford 20/12/25

Winter vista through bare trees,
swollen river ploughs on with ease
bringing water from the west.
Flooded fields from recent past
teeming rain, now drain into
majestic river passing through.
Hills look down, unmoved – they witness
lush fields dormant, city restless –
people buzzing, wanting laughter,
Christmas peace and joy hereafter.
