Nostalgia

The skirl of the pipes that echoed through the hills
The scent of purple heather beside the running rills
The view from the mountain top, upon the glen below
A loch that shimmers in the light of the evening’s pearly glow
These memories that crowd my mind…
a time and place I left behind

Congratulations on your win in Line’s contest Margaret. Ann and I love visiting Scotland. I’m wondering if you manage to get back there from Australia at all? Cheers - Gary

Thank you, Gary for your nice comments. It’s been over 50 years since I left but I do get back a few years. I still have Family there. Take care.

Beautiful poem. I have been to Scotland once. Only spent a week there. Wish I would have had more time.
