Between two sunlit glens
A forest dark awaits
With sturdy staff
I'll wend my way
'Till angels call my name

For wee, bonny Barbara's long braids.

As she gaen through the glens and glades....

Scotland, rich in pride
Braw mountainous scenery
Stands proud and salutes
 
Saltire shares the wind
Tartan Highlanders kilted
Kingdom of the clans...

Bells, bells, bells!
Bells in the glens and bells in the dells!
Bells in heaven and bells in hell!
Bells on the sea and bells on the swells!
Ah, for me what misery they spell!...

Breathtakingly she
Allures this Highlanders eyes
Her beauty personified

Freedom! Sensuously she spreads her wings, 
Floating in glorious glens
Now at one with nature

ominous skies of gloom
orbit through my head
obsessive while oblivious
ornery dragons and 
offspring hovering
o’er lofty castles 
obtusely perched in
opulent misty glens
of opportunistic prophecy

the glebe
the veldt
         the steppes
         the glens-
the dells
     filled
     with
     sedge
and
   vetch
     pebbles
      sand
and
   tufts
      of 
       grass
catch
the
wind:
     the salt air
succours
thirsty
poppies
   so fair...

Listen to poem:

Born is the night 
Again we can sing in
Showers of rain
And tears.
And dance on the light
Again near glens of green.
Born, is the night 
Again we stare and beam
At leaves pasted on a wet 
Black bough.
And tear through the starlight
Adjusting our gleam
Born is the night
Again....

Majestic and tall,
This velvet antlered stag king
Patrols his realm so
 
With herd so mighty
Hinds bow heads as he passes;
Newborn calves frolic
 
Highland heather blooms
Snow capped mountains, horizon view
Kingdom of the glens.

Earthbound renegades
Quietly nestle
Beneath mulch rugs.

Their silent vigils begin
From crouched positions
Down deep in shady glens.

Grounded in grassy glades,
Upstarts creep unnoticed
Till they stretch, fully dressed.

These vibrant visuals rise
From underground rooms
Decorating woodland floors....

Water Song

deep in thought
I seem to be
yet water song
it calls to me
across the hills
into the glens
and down the forest
toward a bend where
aged oak and beech 
do blend into a wood
both deep and fair
the water sings its magic
there inside my head 
it echoes still from pretty 
pool to dancing rill....

Peace be in your fallen flock
let it be in the glens silence
sway in your all seeing
but not the ones that got away
Beholding in your jurisdiction
and your frayed  dogs collar
that needed mending
and forget those adnomination's 
that surface occasionally
Gods breathe is the plan
that roams with your honing...

Fireworks now -- oohs, aahs, wows
  Back then, musket shots in glens

Parades now -- amusing attractions
  Back then, soldiers in traction

Population now -- hundreds of millions
  Population then, 2,500 -- a dozen cotillions

Documents then -- Declaration of Independence
  Documents now -- Trillion-dollar Amendments...

I, a Scottish Golden Eagle so regal on the breeze
To soar on thermals high over Scottish Glens with ease

To look down on the lands of kilted, pipes and lochs
Witnessing the scattering of our clans, be present at our loss

I feel the undercurrent, of the ever-flowing rivers

That feed the wells, and springs of pens

The depth of words, flowing again

Hemingway became a lake

Emily a brook

Pouring out for our partake

Drink deeply now from cups poured then

Springs flowing out across time's glens

Rhyme and prose in Poets rose, in out-flowing of these givers...

Yellow petals shroud the glens in buttery bloom,

                                 concealing from the sun a shadowed gloom;


                                                             hapless furs,

                                                             get the curse;

                             beneath the bush feasts the fanged coil of doom!...

Surely a country with it beauty is it wealth
Come visit not just the big city but it towns
Once you see the rustic charms they'll give
Take a tour through hills yon mighty glens
Life shouldn't be all bustle and strife relax
Awhile, visit the Isles, take a walk up braes
Nothing will fill your lungs like the fresh air
Depart noo oan yir journey have yir holiday...
