I forgot, Grimsta, Shetland, Scotland

I forgot, Grimsta, Shetland, Scotland

I forgot how good it was to be alive

With the wrens and the finches twittering in the cliffs above that I had just scrambled down from crumbly ledge to sharp little handholds

A flotilla of diving cormorants floats past me

Sitting on a 100 ton boulder

As the next giant waves breaks feet away

A wave that could crush or grind me to paste

It disappears under my boulder shaking it and drenching me in spray

Now I am alive.
