Eilean Donan, Reborn

A poem by Michael W. McDermott

A castle reborn…
The world is but a stage and we are but actors in the events of our times.
Reality is but a dream state…
Where by, dreams become as concrete,
One stone at a time.

Eilean Donan Castle, rebuilt from rubble of the Jacobite Uprising.
From the Dream of John MacRae…
To reality, stone by stone, a castle reborn!

Reality… A drift in a sea of Time…
A Dream awaiting fruition.
The stones stand strong !
The Castle, true testament, to a People ,
Their honour and perseverance as a race.

Now spread to the Seas of Time…
Like seeds adrift, to be planted elsewhere…
We are Highlanders of Clan Macrae!

Our children shall return one day…
True testament to a reality….
Born of a dream….
To survive with honour upon the Highlands…
Freemen, a People proud to be born Highlander.
Reality, one stone at a time …
Eilean Donan , A Castle Reborn !
