He was a bit before my time on this forum though I was reading it for quite a while before I posted anything. I was always drawn to Wysefool's posts - initially because of his great name and then because he seemed to have a real connection with the Ridgeway (Rudge), Uffington and Wayland's Smithy - all places much loved by me too. I found this poem posted by him under The Ridgeway - I don't know if Wysefool was David Pike but it seems fitting anyway. Tumuli Gaunt trees, scant shelter For the grass covered barrow On wind caressed downland Overlooking the vale The ancient chalk highway A stone's throw away Lies vacant, brooding; Acknowledges whispers, inaudible echoes Vibrations from invisible feet Weathered sarsen monoliths Stand to attention Lichen encrusted overseers Of a strange uneasy place The pulse quickens, reactive sensation An incorporeal feeling; The heart of past centuries Although hidden, still beats.
