Highlander

Highlander

 

I am tight on the ground

Rooted to the ground with a karst stone

Tossed by the wind

Burned by the sun

I stand on my ground

Every stone remembers my ancestors

Their footsteps and the sacred lineage of the highlanders.

This stone remembers and I can't back down from anyone

I'm standing and waiting for you

Millennium and more I have met many

All of them got what they deserved

I’m drenched in blood still with a smile

Still standing and not giving up.

I am the son of these crags and stones

    great imagery
    thanks for sharing
    (heritage, can be a strength
    or a weakness
    like anything, what we do
    with it
    defines it...)

      Thank you Mek
      My country Montenegro has some similarities with Scotland
      Even nowadays when you mention the Montenegrin family name we know exactly where someone comes from, we know to which clan belongs, etc.
