THE TOWER
~
Here I sit
In my tower
On high at the edge
Of nothingness it would seem
Far from the world of known that I seek
Yet not alone but free
Free to be me
And so at peace with self
The grass grows greener here as far as the eyes can see
Nothin but pure joy and harmony
A path leads
Upward to be
Not many travels come this way
Yet the path be warn
The ocean breezes
Do fill the air
A taste of salt water
Splat against the mound
As the sea birds fly and dip as they go
Me in me towel I feel so as ease with all that is here

VIEW TO A CUE
Off the coast of Ballantrae
through frothy mists, some sailors say
they see a ruin on a cliff
as their ship passes Findlay Frith
Aboard some vessels, yarns are told
of bonny Scotland’s days of old
when Pictish pride built castle walls
to deter Viking raiders’ calls.
The ruin, it is widely thought
resulted from defenders caught;
surprised by sacking party’s stealth
from landside, hungry to gain wealth.
Later, the fortress was attacked,
its walls torn down and inside sacked
by Anglo-Saxons’ thegn assault
too powerful for Scots to halt.
Then lay the ruins by the coast
no more to tribal toasting host
no lamb or beef in firepit roast
Though some say there’s a haunt-in ghost.
