KEY FOUR
(St. Columba’s Well, Barra)
At the green knees of Beinn Tangaval:
Little cave,
Stream of inspiration.
White dove,
Among the wind and weathered rock
Orchid, lousewort and asphodel,
secret and safe.
In the bay:
Turquoise and violet waters,
Arc of sand.
On the lochside shore
White feather on the air.

ARCHED (Part 7)
Stone
Cast in,
Rippling
Time’s pool.
Outwards
And inwards,
A settled pattern
Of comings and goings.
And the weight
Of the stone:
An anchor, a haven.
Small, still island
In a restless sea.
A forest for song.
A forest for silence.
A carpenter’s house,
A house of edge and curve.
A mother’s house,
A house of succour,
Of promises kept,
Of warm dark.
Artificer’s jewel:
A design
Of forever.
