Rayleigh Mount (Nature 02)

 Rayleigh Mount 

By Sis Unsworth

 

A haven is nestled in the center of town,

a place to escape, when you’re feeling down.

The changing seasons bring, visions to behold.

From the clear glow of spring, to Autumns' pure gold.

The mysteries of nature are, too diverse to count,

Blend with pure harmony, in our Rayleigh Mount.

The image of life we all like to see,

a sanctuary for wildlife, abundant and free.

But fear is restrictive, when you go there alone,

I’ve heard some avoid, going there on their own.

Scared for their safety, in that secluded place,

the Mount would be empty, if fear had its way.

They should feel protected, then people would stay

if there were park keepers, protecting the mount,

It would be used more, on every account.

It may banish fear, and help others to see,

the beauty of nature, so natural and free.

But sometimes it's better, the devil you know,

To save Rayleigh Mount, from being a ‘no go’.

They have to save money, that may well be true,

If we can’t pay Park keepers, what else can they do?

I look to the future, and in my mind's eye,

I see it protected, by drones and AI.
