Lovely desolation














Lovely desolation
hidden high
within the cloud, 
and windswept hills
where yellow moorland
bracken rises proud

Dangerous oblivion
in the quagmires of the lost
and might of granite outcrops
sweeping low
to meet the moss

and oh, the sky
capricious sky
with clouds and colours
fleeting low and wide
so ancient Dartmoor greets you,
and then just as quickly,
pushes you aside
