Poem: On This Ground We Stand

On this ground we stand and stare

Feel earthy roots beneath our feet

Down, down, layers of sparks,

Timbers, songs, memories, lives lived

Turn your eyes to the sky

The wind blows and the clouds swirl

The seas and oceans call us

Tides glitter as the lighthouse beams

Light dark light dark light dark

See the bare hills and islands

From the sky our land is a small, precious thing

And us in it, a thing to treasure
