Do not look back

Yes I can still see you
in the doorway of your little house
the evening sunshine
behind your welcoming smile

I still see your homestead
full of the things of your years
your little companion
as the sun set behind you

I recall the struggle
with loneliness
in amongst that
empty beauty of Uist

You came back to me tonight
a tap on the shoulder
from beyond this earthly life -
do not look back
