Peighinn Nam Fadhla - An T-Eilean Dorcha

We walked and talked for hours as we sat on the golden sands
A fine yellow grain so soft, found on Benbecula's open lands

We are so fortunate on this day no swell from the Atlantic shows
The morning sun into the afternoon warms in smiling loving glow

The salty air attracts our taste, as if to say it's there
In splendid scenery surround we absorb and politely stare

We marvel at the breakers as they land with a soft applause
Taking in this day so calm, knowing nature can change with cause

Our afternoon now wanes as we head back along the coast
Looking forward to the evening ceilidh, and to this Dark Island we will toast

Wonderful images of the sea along the coast, James. The title made me think it was an entry for Paula's contest, but instead I discovered a different type of gem. Well done, my friend! Love, Carolyn
