Finding a place in the world

Gazing idly towards the Cheviots Thoughts lingering on the lands beyond The distant island lies North West of here Unseen, too great a distance..

There's freedom on the moors Truth in the Lochs Hope lies in the Minch Promise on the Cuillin An honesty in the history No room for passing..

Homesick for a place far away.

The difference between two lands

Remembering the Islands I once called home

The closing of the day and disappointment in the city

The blaze of a sunset Shooting across the sky Final rays of day Illuminating the hills The last chance As night draws in Regrets floodin..

The song of my people The struggle, the pain The toil and the betrayal Erased from history I know this story well Repeated throughout time ..

Looking back at how the pieces of a life fit together, the catalyst for change.
