For six more centuries
We would wait and yearn

On Christmas day
In 1950
Four Scottish students
Decided to shift thee

Whilst a sparkling...

Where the saltire flies high above my head

As I await the morning sunshine peeking over the Ben
Standing at the door of my centuries old croft
The wild fern's arise as the rays makes them loft

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

Swooping shadowing heathers to return to soar above...
