Reflections on Human Feelings by Hightown Writers Traeth Mawr by Val Pedrick

sometimes, lovin’ is so easy

days and nights holding you

past times weren’t always so pleasing

You came along and life began anew

when curlew call ‘cross Traeth Mawr

awaking to the sunrise glow

‘tho high tide’s ebbing from our door

we are anchored, easy, in life’s flow

 

breakfast at the station café

watch divers from the harbour wall

steam engines chug across the roadway

for us – Porthmadog has it all!

 

crossing the cob from the station

in the teeth of rain and gales

climb a sheep track to Portmeirion

buy a plate and walk the trails

 

next day ride upon a steam train

the narrow gauge line to Ffestiniog

waste slate mountains, pouring rain

send us straight back to Porthmadog

 

winter evenings are pitch black

in our apartment with a ‘view’

we watch the lights go on at Harlech

then sit and wonder what to do …

 

there are times, lovin’ is so easy

you and I together, come what may

and when life becomes a little crazy

we escape on our winter holiday

 

when curlew call ‘cross Traeth Mawr

awaking to the sunrise glow

‘tho high tide’s ebbing from our door

we are anchored, easy in life’s flow.
