Holy Isle - Arran - World Peace Centre

Holy Isle - Arran - World Peace Centre

Beneath Arran’s peaks, betwixt olive hills 
Nestles Lamlash vale with sea blanket drawn
Upon golden shore lays her ashen head 
Basks in sun serene where the clouds are torn

From near Holy Isle where the seagulls sing 
Distant trawler groans ‘pon jewelled cobalt sea  
Whilst the Soay they lark and the waves roll in
The peace comforts me with its rowdy din 

So it comes to be that I question peace
What it means to me ‘midst this holy place 
For you see I’ve learned... it’s not heard but felt 
So I take with me and no more I’ll waste 

As the boat nears shore with my soul renewed
I’ll think on this day, watery greens and blues
As the paint of peace brushes clear my thoughts 
My heart swells with love and my soul imbrues

The Isle of Gigha

The Isle of Gigha

Where sky and sea and Paps they greet 
With turquoise blue and emerald feet
Bright birdsong-breeze forbids all woes 
Waves play betwixt her sandy coves

Gods Island named and aptly so
When Norseman anchored long ago
Their tales still echo marked in stone
Amongst the farmland cairns outgrown

An island story so unique
A phoenix rising from the bleak 
Community united strong
Triumphantly we heed their song 

A place whence been will call you home 
To soon return... your soul is sworn 
For once you’ve seen you’ll ne’er forget 
Lost in her wiles... your dreams will set
