Loch Seaforth

Racing by
on the placid loch
lowering clouds
threatening rain

The ribs of history
showing on the land
long since
abandoned

Glowering down
the mountains loom
East and west
Opposing shores

Modernity races by
on the western bank
History is static
on the eastern side

Light emerges
to the south
where Loch Seaforth
merges with the sea
