A Walk in the Kilpatricks – poem by Christina Byrne
(Looking down from the Kilpatricks to the River Clyde – by Gary Mullen)
A walk in the Kilpatricks
Onward and upward, my weary boots trudge
They said it was a gentle slope
To me it seems a mountain
Just don’t look up, keep walking
Your mind intimidates
You think you just can’t do it
Then suddenly you’re there
A tranquil stretch of water opens out before you
Its surface dark reflection of the lowering clouds
I turn, survey the vista, the scene before me
The river Clyde a widening snake
Slow flowing to the west
Christina Byrne (17 December, 1936 – 17 December, 2012)
