Day 730 – Portal (Watts)

On Day 730 of the Daily Poems our poet Anthony Watts finds a portal in the countryside at a certain point on a railway line. Anything might be possible.

Portal

Where the old railway cutting
becomes the old railway embankment –

where the track
and the fields each side of the track

are, for a short distance, 
all three on the same level plane – 

the hedges have been removed, so that a tractor
might cross from one side to the other.

I came there on my walk,
and fancied for a moment

that anything might be possible
in a world where such portals exist.

Anthony Watts
