Today's poet

[Hes]

Lullaby


arise
calmly to this night
to the hour of angels and fairies
listen

arise
let the spirits take hold of you
go into a mysterious dream
listen

there is silence
silence
only silence
hushed silence
whispering silence
no, not only silence
music with silence
chords of the golden lute
crowning the silence

arise
calmly to this night discover what you know not
listen
listen
and listen

Ohhh that is gorgeous Merry! Thank you!

[freckle]

Near and Far

I feel
Nearness
When I feel
The colour of
Your silence
Distance
When I savour not
The smell of
Your words.

What makes a Fell runner.

Brave fell runners of the north let's go,
Hearts of steel not stopped by snow,
Gird yourself against wild northerlies,
Standing up to nature running to be free.

Yorkshire village to heart of the peak,
These sporting titans no recompense seek,
They just want to be there giving it all,
Camaraderie,together the fell runner stands tall.

At one with yourself and the wonderful land,
Athletes,poets and more together they stand,
Bravery,strength,passion and a indomitable soul,
Proud to be called fell runner no higher goal.

Nice one Tri! I'm off for my first snowy run tomorrow and have a feeling that there will be no strength, beauty or grace in my attempts but I'm looking forward to it, I've been dreaming of running in the snow.

Hell ow and merry. Did you race today ow ?. Have you done Wasdale and what sort of cut offs does it have. Could recommend any races travelling not an issue. In near future we shall have to get some vests sorted for the F.P.S as mentioned which we could wear if we wanted.

Love it Matt, you've captured the essence of Fell Running, not for financial or material wealth, just for wealth of the soul

For what i must do i must climb,
So i must climb into bed,
And dream of climbing.

Goodnight all, sleep well
