A babbling burn

...Inspired Thinking

Inspired, I’m thinking
I haven’t an inkling
From where it comes
And where it’s going.

Stranded

Tannins and silts combine to dark blood

A hut, just fifty metres, occupying their sight

   a boat has passed upon the lake

   to shuffle the song upon the wind,
