<p>Poem.<br />
<br />
<br />
Glowing embers in an evening sky slowly cool and fade.<br />
Fiery red and orange compliment the turquoise tinges of sea and sky.<br />
The dying, falling sun in the north-west highlights the remote rocks and slopes on the tranquil, golden coastline of Loch nan Uamh.<br />
<br />
Well-worn, mellow, buff and beige rocks,<br />
blackened and yellowed by algae and seaweed and sprinkled with inter-tidal molluscs complete this dreamy scene.<br />
But a little more than a couple of hours from midnight,<br />
in late May, tranquillity works its magic.<br />
Serenity reigns.</p>
