Distant Shores. # Option 5.

Missing image

From distant shores I hear you

Calling me back to my clan,

Whispers carried from over the sea

Reaching the shore of Ardnamurchan,

 

My restless spirit was longing

To reach out and be set free,

So now I sit on rocky shore

And gaze upon ice cold sea,

 

As I look upon the horizon

I know I will never come home,

Ardnamurchan is where I am seated

This is where my spirit will roam,

 

On the shore of this unspoilt coastline

Silence so deafeningly loud,

No-one here to disturb me

Just sea and gathering cloud,

 

My spirit is settled and peaceful

Distant shores don't matter to me,

Ardnamurchan is where I am settled

On my rock at the edge of the sea.
