Paris Nuit 2016
A blackbird drops song
onto the surface of night
note by note. Slowly,
stave by stave
diluting darkness.
Beautiful.
A great poet, one of our own in Ballydehob.
great portrait.
Lovely Poem.
The earth has lost a beautiful talent
My lovely cousin Seamus
In His honour….
From across the mourning pond
You were with me
Listening, watching words on the tube
it comforts
wild and weary
hurting hearts
waste not the wind
Fly and soar
Heron crossing
