Watching
Sun’s glint on Aberdeen sea
Gentle wink in dad’s eye
He is there, somewhere
Watching.

Traffic
cars, vans and people
hooting, tooting, scooting past
won’t get there faster

Gu bràth
No one said that forever,
Gu bràth, is not so.
Forever is temporary
As long as is granted
For a time
Christmas will reveal
Less places at the table
More wishing stars
Riding the branches
Of our tree
Memories hurt the heart
Gaps like broken teeth
Punched out
Forever lost to somewhere
Or something
Look back, look ahead
Gu bràth, forever in thought.
See generations new
Alive with Christmas mystery
And breathe ….

Literal meaning of gu bràth in Gaelic is “until Judgement”. It is also used to mean “forever” as in Alba gu bràth – Scotland forever
