Most days I would try to write a poem; it is a practice, as I suppose is meditation, or smiling, or watching the world go by

Framed
Endless shimmers
Wave after wave of nostalgia
Patterns thought never to be repeated
Bring their own sense of what’s gone on before
They dwell here & now for a while
Before moving on, to afterwards, ever so slowly
Photographers flip out
Their flip up cameras
Form into rows and rows
To capture the ferry's berth
We are number two
In the orderly queue
We look back, focus
With a self satisfied smile
On our fellow travellers

Itinerant
A hive and a beanstalk
A tin hut on the bog
Heaven on a peat moor
Slow down you damnable frog

Solitude No More
You think I want to be here alone
But I have to say that isn't true
The reason that I'm here at all
Is to be here alone with you

Queen of the Clearence
She owned a million acres
I did not own a single one
She owned a million acres
Yet it is her lands beauty
That my eyes now ache upon
She was a lady of the lowlands
With edicts oft emerging from
She was a lady of the lowlands
Though it is her natures beauty
That has me now rising strong
The mourn of loch and lay line
Helps us to carry on
The scorn of loss and lost time
Gives the faith to live it long
Shares the faith to live it long
Live it long by stones and steeples
Live it long by folk and lore
Live it long in every moment
Live it long
Through the length
Of all your rousing songs

Calanais
You sit at your desk
We stand beside the stone
The gale tears away all doubt
No need for sages
We are among true believers
Barefoot warriors
Freed from their desks
Free to bless the stone
