Trotternish

I am urged to write
Not knowing
Where the spring rises
Or where the river flows

But there is celebration
The day has gone
Beyond its darkness
Clear light has made an entrance

Books, photographs; framed
To bring a thought
To gift a memory
To recast a pain

How good it is to feel good
To drive beside the loch
On the way to a place
Whose name I can’t remember

Flodigarry, that’s it
I just needed a few moments
Of pure concentration
Then to look out to the island
