Tis Rambletide in Ambleside by Pamela Wyn Shannon

Tis Rambletide in Ambleside
Wind-twisted trees, the thorn of you
The season's leaf is gold and red
On lilting paths they fall to bed

And we become brighter in our dying
And we turn golden as we fall

Spindle berries split and show
Sunset-colored seeds that glow
The leaf fires scent the air with musk
Shadowed spindle tree at dusk

And we become brighter in our dying a
And we turn golden as we fall

Tis Rambletide, so off I go
Through Ambleside, the path unknown
October fields of umber hue
Over rain-soaked rocks I quickly move

Can I walk through soft meadows and briars alike?
Can I move through with the thorn of you inside?

The knobbed and knotted arms I climb
To view the falling from up high
In their departure, I arrive
With ever leaf, a floating sigh

And we become brighter in our dying
And we turn golden as we fall

Tis Rambletide in Ambeside
Wind-twisted trees, the thorn of you
The season's leaf is gold and red
On lilting paths they fall to bed...

Her unique compositions have an elliptical quality which creates its own time-frame, rules, and kingdoms, and are reminiscent of the magic found in UK '60s artefacts. ... more
