Moan rumble winds across primeval rocks, and grassland bends in eddy jitters of skipping breeze: meander sheep around stark moorland slopes where, leaning, thoughts free wandering, a poet stands whose god, by then, was kept in lurking shades, and priestly […]
Er cof am Mari Jones for Bible fame she owns…. The long, slow trek, bare foot, bare foot on unforgiving road, not path to suit impassioned stride, but fire of heart, that flamed in Mary, drove her from the start: […]
Not easy being raised by the sea. What is for tea? Not guaranteed to have Fish and chips every day. Unless- someone like me: Tips their dish. In kindness. Life is dependant on The sea- And sometimes me. My pet […]
A Violin concerto I hear with depth of sound, and melodic, symphonic poem “Penillion”, “Welsh Nursery Rhymes” that frolic – maybe Sibelius brings a hint, touch Mendelsohn, and from Elgar, Vaughan Williams has added a mood – but heard uniquely […]
