Literally, No

Too far to walk
With such indigestion
Too far from home
With this pressing need

Yet the bush
Is such a perfect place
With stone flags
Beneath my feet

The wind whistles
Over my shoulder
Then just as quickly
It settles to a breeze

A warm Zephyr
With the occasional urge
Of a more forceful wind
To keep me wondering

And of course I have
Come here to wonder
At the roll of the wolds
With the certainty of trees

Much as if travelling
On the Trans-Siberian railway
Up and over, or through the Ural Mountains
Then all along the self-levelling Steppes
