30th March 2023, Linhope Spout, 2pm
After a wet morning it was a beautiful afternoon for a wander up to Linhope Spout. I'd never ventured up here before and I'm glad I did.
Little does this water know
As it tumbles peacefully through the hills.
There is no warning given
Though the burn narrows
and deepens in a cleft
Little does this water know
It will soon be flying
Sparkling like diamonds
A brief moment of glory
As it falls and crashes
Before returning
To peaty brown stillness
As it continues
Its journey to the sea
Where I will perhaps
Unknowingly
Meet it once more
