Meeting at Glenthorne
Poetry by Harvey Gillman
We met in silence, the cows and I in the long wet grass, in worship they,
ruminating I. They sat. I stood

that climbed in awe to the passing clouds.
Again I saw the hill I climbed before:
angels ascending, descending,
stepping lightly on the unploughed earth.
