Letter to Anam-chairad
Waymark: Waypoints
Dear Anam-charaid,
are you bewildered,
beset with catastrophic anxiety,
disoriented thoughts?
Do you dismember all joy?
Let it disrupt your peace in Crìost?
O, how can I voyage
down unknown paths till
your eyes rest on Crìost,
not the shattered
rudder of your boat?
Scots-Gaelic
