By wind and mere and rippled flow
And water’s mirror, sunlight’s glow
To farther hills whose skin embraces
Touching sky with changing faces
Who sees the round but loves the whole
And wrestles with that spirit’s capture
Here sits the poet, lost in rapture

Thank you, Sam. Poetry is special to us both, I can tell! I don’t use Instagram. it’s got a bad press here in the UK with its lax attitude to young folk using it to promote self-harm and suicide. The owners (FB) need to clean up their act and start taking some responsibility for content. Nice to chat with you. Steve

Dear Steve yes I know what you mean, you have to be selective about how you use Instagram for sure. Great to chat too and to discover your poetry 🙂
