Newdowns Head

I sit on the cliffs
and look out to sea
the sky is so blue
royalty blue.

With heather around
a purple so rich
this colour is regal
purple of kings.

Trefoils so small
dotting the heather 
the yellow is bright
droplets of sun.

Rocks that are jagged
scattered around
a grey that is dour
colour of tin.

The sea as I’m watching
is gentle then lively
waves on the surface
now still as a pond
from royalty blue
to the colour of tin.

This cliff that I sit on
is steep to the sea
when all about me
the treasures of nature
bathe me in fortune
for an hour of my life.

A lovely place to sit and contemplate the beauty of nature.

It would not be quite the same on a wild winters day! Close to nature then too for sure!!
