Script Title

Orkney Quest

Script Content

Were you there when the Orkney Islands were made,

From fire and rock and the force of the wave,

When the heavens summoned the sun and the moon

And the wild ones came in time to the tune?

 

Can you hear the voices from deep to on high,

The beasts of the sea, the birds of the sky,

All the creatures at home on these fragile shores

The wind in the grass, the rain when it pours?

 

Do you feel the pulse of an ancient power

Reborn in each new child, each flower,

The rhythms of time and tide and space

That drive the dance and liven the face?

 

Have you seen the sky on a winter’s night

When the endless stars are a song of light

And the flame of the sun falls to the earth

For the folk by their fire at a story’s birth?

 

Will you walk in peace, step quiet as a prayer;

Tread slowly, touch softly, just stand and stare?

For each stone has its place, each person a part;

Come to be one of us and we’ll take you to heart.
