In a Highland Glen
On Scotland's west coast
A forest exists
Unknown to most
Nearest its centre
Locals say
There's a pool of life
Not seen to this day
On its north shore
Even greater than that
A Gateway to Eternity
To the future and back
Only one has passed
Through these eternity doors
A Highlander called Semaj
And his future droid
Stories are told
About the Butterfly Winged Elf's
Who stole the moon
To save their selves
For on that night
The forest did glow
A brilliant bright light
Saltire blue show
The Gateway to Eternity
And the Pool of Life
Came to the aid
Of mother earth that night

I venture forth in this wood unknown
Trembling inside this greenery overgrown
I trustingly advance each step foreward
Inching towards my fate unguarded
Lowering my gaze somewhat subdued
I spy my rainbow my future I view
Longing future wisdom spiralling notions
My lusty prelude to imagination enthrown!
