Highland Salute

23/9/2013

By land over the highlands
I've walked run and swam
A journey to the past where one can still get a decent cup of tea

Mountain ranges
Boggy depths
Unsettled visitas as far as the eye could see

History retained in the names
Sounds of the mountains

Captured in a procession down main street
Where the junior leaders practice for the future

Future generations bought to appreciate the space

A reminder of life without wifi
People still get by

Two full weeks
Just enough to release

An escape?
An invitation!
An affirmation
A chance to look into the past, think on the future, appreciate the present

Sunset portals over distant islands lead the way to magic

One of the homes of power
What a joy to behold

New family's first visit
What a joy to hold

Full fledged peaceful pledge

I offer thanks and gratitude
Oh dear Highlands, I must confess, thou dost impress and make my mood improve

From grim to grin
And sad to glad

We got it pretty good
Through locks and Beins
By land over highland
This peace I do

Salute

    I love poetry.

    It can be whimsical or epic, unbearably long or just two memorable lines, mature and dark or light and childish.
