A Friendly Fifer Said “Hello” ©

Mid-day in May in Burntisland,
Absorbing the warmth of the weather,
Fife and I were alone together.
The sun made it all worthwhile,
After a treacherous journey,
Many a lonely rainy wet mile.
The preceding eve I had said my farewell,
To my comfortable abode of family personnel.
Sky was quite clear and the Forth was near,
Sand was gold dust in my hand.
The Isle of Inchkeith I cast my eyes,
I listened inside to homecoming cries.
I’m soon to rise and stride out some more,
Into the unknown by the shore.
Absorbing the warmth of the weather,
Fife and I were alone together.
As I was lost in what time I should go,
A friendly Fifer said “hello.”
