Dalmore

From the endless sea
a wave rolls in
like a drawn-out sigh
runs out onto the beach

The endless sky
of northern blue
with tufts of white
marches overhead

The sun yet low
over the darkened hill
brown green
yellow winter hue

Beyond the sea
in distant lands
beyond our knowledge
we may not venture

Its markers loom
in the sandy soil
where the memories fade
in illegible lines

We remember you
even if we never knew
so you'll forever live
on Dalmore beach
