Call To The Emigrant

Call To The Emigrant


I have a secret to share
With my whispers
I reach out to you
Through your grey Atlantic spindrift wind
I have a story to tell
Listen to my whip wing words
Soar eagle like
Hill mountain high
To reach you in your other clime
I am the ghost of yourself
Here, here in this land where your feet first fell
Here where your heart was first formed
Hear then the tale that I tell.

by Hamish Whyte, Isle of Skye
