The Silent Chak

The Lyric Artworks

'Leave
The city, like bees from flowerless fields,
To untrodden land.
Walk
Where long streams flow and hills rise. Let it tear
Your thoughts from your page.
Write
Your beats as steps along the way, and scan:
What lies before you?'
St. Margaret's Loch, Edinburgh- April 2006
