I saw her stand

exposed and timid

nervous, shivering

in the leafy sun

a dappled beauty

suddenly shy

proud and sure

brash, potent

in the cool shade

a young pretender

suddenly hesitant

angry and loud

fast, rushing

through the heat

I dare to dream my favourite dream

And I see my Holy Grail

Whenever I pass the sight of a sign

A refuge from a tiresome world

In the highlands or dappled Devon.

I drive on by yet always look back

As the green hued mansions pass,

Their secret pathways tempting...
