Missing the Highlands

A lush green blanket of noble trees
Stand tall in valleys as they weave
Through contours of an unspoilt scene
 
The Highlands
My home
I miss you
 
Magnificent mountains shape the land
Where man has not yet laid his heavy hand
To judge Nature with his violent demands
 
The Highlands
My home
I miss you
 
Through hills gently rolls a glistening stream
To meet others of its humble kind is its only dream
To form a mighty river before running out of steam
 
 
The Highlands
My home
I miss you
 
Spreading her wings bravely to the sky
The Golden eagle sets across the loch to fly
To match its glory no winged being could even try.
 
The Highlands
My home
I miss you

    1. Thank you, I actually wasn’t so happy with this poem in comparison to alot of my work, but it seems to be quite a popular one 🙂 It simply doesn’t do justice to the scenes it describes.

    1. Yes, especially when the majority of your life has been away from it, living somewhere that doesn’t feel like home instead. thanks for commenting 🙂

  1. I want to be there, too…it was beautiful…thanks…unlike you I have been where I have always been…and it is like I want to be at that place where I never was…and in some way, I think it feels the same

    1. There is something magical about the highlands. I think most people who are lucky enough to visit connect with its beauty-I’m technically orginally from edinburgh, so not quite in the highlands, but i consider both the highlands and edinburgh to be home.
