Dartmoor Monochrome.... Fur Tor
Three men strode across the moor
with cladded boots and layered clothes.
Taking the air of crystal stillness
from Batworthy corner to the Grey wether circle.
Snow, crisp and virgin white all round
coats the hummock, mire and pound.
White and black, grey and blue,
the muted colours of Dartmoors winter hue.
Fur Tor stands secret in monochrome mystery
Silent rock with views to silver sea
Roundly denying the existence of distance
beholding to the silhouette of silence.
