No one will ever understand why I like this hill so much
It is after all just a hill, with a view of the city below
The larger hills in the background as clear as I have ever seen them
It’s peaceful up here, only a dim hum of the cars on the motorway
The view is in my eyes spectacular
Especially on a warm summer's evening like today
The sun shining and a slight cool breeze, but not much more
Through the trees I walk in the shade
The ground is dry unlike the last time I was here
Back then there was a foot of snow upon the ground
A sharp cold breeze and a much tougher walk than today
Through the shade of the trees you wouldn’t think it was sunny
Then as you walk the trees part their way
The world opens up into a sunny glorious view
I sit by the edge of the cheese roll and I look out at the view
No one will ever understand why I like it so much up here
Always something new to look at, find, admire
I have fond memories of here, first starting with scouting up here
Since then I have always more often than not been a lonely visitor to here
The walk clears the mind, the heart gets a work out from the ascent
It’s not mountain nor is it too easy, just a nice pleasant walk
With rewarding views at the end of it to help the mind think a little bit more
With the hill just on the doorstep I could visit so much more
However it makes it all worthwhile when I do get to visit
With the camera in hand each photo I take differs from one to the next
It will always be a part of me, although I will never understand why
A place I can call my muse shall we say, a thought provoking place
Why that hill I may say? I do not know, or need not worry why.
