Poem -
Let the bramble be
Let the bramble be
to bear its fruits by the sun β
the ocean brings waves
to this rocky coast
on the cry of gulls
navigating the currents,
while for all those years
this old, roofless church bore witness
to the ocean
of the changing tidesβ¦

beautiful refrain.
Thank you, it was indeed timeless, in the sun (one of the very few sunny days, this time, as was most of europe,, this time Ireland was WETΒ π). It surprised me to see that on a peninsula with maybe 5 houses families were still using the churchyard (in one case for almost 150 years in the same family space).
The brambles were very ripe, but it became more important to enjoy the quiet, hence "Let the brambles be..."π€£
