Poetry
Poems of Annie McLean
I Will Return

Return I will one day,
Naked,
To Scotland's glens.

I will make a bed in purple heather
Surrounded by twelve granite soldiers
Watching over me throughout the night
As Brigda gathers her harvest.

As dawn breaks,
I will say a new welcome to the sun,
Reflecting Inti of strange lands
And similar ways.

Morning dew on soft green grasses
Will wash away night fears
From my feet as I dance
A thanksgiving to Mother Earth.

I will swim in rivers
Swollen by tears from the Gods
Saddened by fading memories
Of a past losing a grip on the future.

And I will gather with others
In a multi-wooded forest
To hear words of wisdom
Whispered through branches.
