Bonny Isles

A sparkling jewel Of nature It brings peace To my soul Fills the Empty hole Slows down My heartbeat Stops the retreat And rebuilds Refills My heart With wonder With hope With silence. Pained As I am By my past The re-casting Of my being The removal Of my all-seeing Alter-ego Is a certainty When on the boat To Lerwick With waves Licking The sides And the rhythm Of the slow Humming Engine Slowing my rhythm Sending Me to sleep. Gets me Dreaming of The glistening sea This wondrous Place This hidden Space Where few Do tread And the calm Descends From The first step From the lack Of Chain Stores The Out-of-date News The stormy weather Views The Cream Buns The Long lasting Sun A slow Drifting Pace The hundred Private beaches The performing stars At night A delight To my heart I dream of another place
