Vision without action is a daydream Action without vision is a nightmare - Japanese proverb Cobwebs fall from my eyes Brushed there by the trees As I emerge from the river, Shivering in the breeze. Into ancient forest Sinking into peat, Leaves dance down Mulching at my feet, Lazy light swells and pulses Making me yearn for rest, My swollen eyelids Tick with tiredness, I seek a second magpie Where murderous corvids roost, I count seven as they Startled, suddenly swoop.
