I walked Topside
For the first time
In a place i dream of
In a world forsaken

I walk with ancestors
lost in the requiem
of the Ages forgotten
And the memories we tread on

I'm lost on the path
of the past forgiven
its crimes and prejudice
that it long ago created

The winds from the east
Cold cleansing breeze
So Know i know It is terrible
To be completely alone

Oh Danny boy, the pipes, the pipes are calling
From glen to glen, and down the mountain side
The summer's gone, and all the roses falling
'Tis

serenity blaze

Hello Walter P...been awhile...

This truly portrayed desolation...reminded me a bit of Tarot card depicted in the Rider-Waite deck...the five of cups. Very vivid imagery with a stark feel. Nicely done.
