The Quiet Moor
On moors so vast and quiet deep,
The heather bends as shadows creep,
I find a peace within the glade,
Where thoughts are light, and worries fade.
The breeze it whispers soft of yore,
In every turn of flowered floor,
Amongst the starlit folded night,
A magic stirs and sets things right.
For here, oh moor, where silence reigns,
A tapestry of joy remains,
And in your heart, my wander stays,
To honour all your soulful ways.
