Between the vast landscape
And the tiny flower
And further memorabilia
A flame flickers
That is
Between
The vast Hebridean landscape
With land, loch and mountain
As photographed in years gone by
And the tiny flower, captured
By camera
On the roadside beside the bog
There is a glass vase
With a votive candle
Also, between the large pebbles
There is a thin slice
Of fossilised ammonite
Which was
A gift for services rendered
In the furtherance of publication
Of that lady’s poetry collection
