Arkaig

A world rent asunder ...
Two solitudes meet in isolation,
Entwined in the dance unbreakable.
Like the ice-formed contours of this, my home,
She flows from mountain to sea.
Free spirit of the reborn,
Now darting, now pausing
Like shadows at day’s rebirth.
The song I sing is heard but not heeded
- By the Queen of the Hills.

Fiery as clans of old, cascading down
To meet this phial of life;
Deep wells radiating a new calm.
The Lady of the Manor. Come home.
