I Wish...

I wish I could photograph

the curlew’s cry,

the scent of the fox,

the springiness of the moss beneath my feet.

I wish I could capture

the taste of the Pennine rain on my tongue,

the scratch of the heather stem that’s trapped inside my welly,

the sight of the two huge hares who just streaked before me and vanished before my fingers could even cup my camera.

I wish my lens could impart to you the deeply grounded feeling that comes when you stand on a moor and listen with your feet.
