Wild Heather

Angels upon the brisk north wind sound like a ring-a-ding
Dark clouds upon the horizon threaten the tranquility
Rejoin the moss and heather in a sheltered Lee

Recognise the unrivalled beauty in this unspoilt land
Mountain tops and forest glades untouched by man's brutal hand
But be mindful of the past hidden by appearances
Many a man was broken by the Highland clearances

Short But Sweet

Midnight Blues

#colourchallenge. Alone again. Broken and bruised. I just can't shake. These midnight blues. A solitary. Undignified mass. Of worthless skin. And memories passed. A conclusion. Of one hearts demise.

Cinderella Blues

#colourchallenge. You see I have a lovely dress. An amazing midnight blue. Just nowhere to where it to. Not a ball. Nor a party. Where people can drool. So I wore my dress. And went to the park.
