I gaze at the Highlands’ mountains and try to force myself to feel joy in its entirety. But I can’t. Look how beautifully the sun plays on the rocks like its pressing keys: white for light, black for darkness. And who am I? Darkness, light? Half-shadow? Twilight? I am a cloud....

Like a flying bird they swayed To the flow of a beating gong Like two little kids that played To the sound of a native song All the others came to dance Flock of birds; flew high and low They soared together, all at once They all let their feelings flow May 10, 2023...

A Scotsman voyaged through the highlands Thickly covered with lush, purple heather Kilt adorned and bare, his regions nether Feeling breezy on this, a grand endeavor He trekked across enjoying balmy weather Heather gray sky and ben blend together Through the loch did wet his boots of leather The effort causing removal of his sweater Warm with heather yarns the colours speckle He laid...

Where once verdant rolling highlands... Spanned into infinite vista far as these myopic eyes can see now yellowing Whitmanesque leaves of grass encompass field of vision. Nary a dark dreadnaught cloud in sight, nor unbeknownst if/when threatening storm looms on horizon slaking parched land delivering precipitation quenching thirsty terra firma. I too experience vicarious dehydration during bonafide dry spell constituting theoretical string hoop fully curtails weather beaten flora...

The Call of the Highlands Oh I'd love a day out in the heather, With a ghillie a gun and a stick, I'd stalk 'cross the moors, crawl about on all fours All the way from Fort William to Wick. Oh I'd love to catch fish in the river, Cast my line, it's no problem you see, For the fish that I...
