Lines
written on an overnight sleeper from Inverness to Euston
To the music of "Joe Hill" and the voice of Joan Baez...
I dreamed I walked the hills last night
and stood on higher ground.
Just for a moment the mists had cleared
and friends, sixty or more, were all around.
We saw the plain before us reach
as far as the grey North Sea.
I looked to left and right and knew,
for better and for worse,
I was a part of them, each one a part of me.
