Waiting

Waiting here, not knowing, not kenning where we are,

who we are, what we are, what we have said.

Waiting is hardest.

Tomorrow, we will know, and we need to know then

that we will work together, that we can still

take hands, whatever we did today,

and that the work of thinking, of hands and minds

of making this thing work

(whatever ‘this thing’ is)

starts then.

To all my friends and kin, with hope and vision

I promise now, to work with you, where I can,

how I can, where I can.

To create Scotland’s wealth and futures
whatever these may be.
