Sunburst
The morning moor
The light of God

The heart of youth
I look around me
My eyes find their rest

On this garden
The flower of the west


The silent skies
An innocent heart
Holding the moment away

From time in the dark
All I see, all I know,
Is touching the sacred earth

Warming the hallowed ground

Walk on

Walk on
Walk on


Sunrise
The colour frontier
The ageing light

The sight that knows no fear
I look over Orinsay
To the Trumisgarry shore

To Aloter and the road to Ahmore

The silent skies

An innocent heart
Holding the moment away
From time in the dark

All I see, all I know,
Is touching the sacred earth
Warming the hallowed ground


I survive the childhood universe
And I step the naked heath

Where the breathing of the vanished
Lies in acres round my feet
Past Loch Scadavagh Loch Fada

And the flatlands to the east
Where the dark blue mass of Eval
Meets the rising Rock of Lee

Between the Crogary and Mairi
I started to descend
Loch Aongais on my left hand side

I look across to Clett
Collies barking on the outrun
Dunlin dancing on the sand

Breakers show round Corran Vallique
And empty the Atlantic on the strand


The silent skies
An innocent heart
Holding the moment away

From time in the dark
All I see, all I know,
Is touching the sacred earth

Warming the hallowed ground
