the sound of man hammering
finds its way across the fields

the lambs bleating
calves frolicking

Seabirds arriving back
from the sea

A cockerel cries out
to the wind

the long road, a way to travel,
the journey of enlightenment
each step a triumph, each breath
-the fire, the song, the acceptance
-gentle emergence of the Butterfly.

to attract bird life plant a tree
hang food from its branches

sit by your favourite window
write your truth in poetry

let silence be a happy companion
as you listen to birdsong

Buttercup and Daisy
colonise the fields

with Poppy and Bluebell
scattered here and there

once you have slept and woke
by the sea
your heart seduced
you can never leave

The Sycamores are close to full Summer array
beautiful green reaching into the beautiful blue
planted as seed some fourteen or so years ago
My own small copse of eight trees, sentinels,
in Orkneys sparse landscape looking out to sea.

solitude akin to invisible
walks the spirit in the spirit world
