It Does Us Good

The sky is big in Wiltshire.

The buildings fall away

the eye adjusting to

a wider landscape.

 

It does us good:

we expand our vision.

 

We let nature breathe in us –

touching maybe joy,

maybe sadness, but

touching.

 

It does us good:

we feel our feelings.

 

The Wiltshire Downs are

big enough to hold us.

 

It does us good:

let us be held.
