Achfary Highland (+3)

Fear came in numbers,

 bravery stood alone

 

The battle intrepid

—glory atoned

 

(Scottish Moors: September, 1978)

 

 

 

Leaving Waimea

 

You’ll never catch that perfect wave

or write a perfect verse

The search that drives—the voice that saves,

where all our dreams rehearse

 

(Sunset Beach: April, 1982)

 

 

 

 

Goodbye Andromeda

 

Get it right once

—and you’re free of forever

 

(Dreamsleep: March, 2021)

 

 

 

Something For Laura

 

If I could then be with you,

only in my mind

Your memory a lover’s tryst   

—in dreams again to find

 

(Dreamsleep: March, 2021)
