Poem -

Silence on the lands

my babysteps into mysticism (Ireland, August 1998 near Clonfinloch Stone)

Silence on the lands

Silence on the lands
            Silence in the streams
presence still
of the Lady of the Broom
resting, watching
near this Stone

White Lady
            green lands
fertile

Cast like a cloak,
folds and hills
form the body

Play of light
            and shade
fill the mind

Trees, wise and quiet,
reach out and bridge
body and mind

            to soul

White Lady,
            I hail thee

Hanx once more. It is an oldie from an amazing holiday. TYhough it was my fourth time over in Ireland, it was the first time as a married man (11 years by then). I am almost convinced that one or more of the many lives I must have lived before this one have been spent (and lost) in the Republic...

She did rest at a nice tranquil spot.

Oh yes, close by a stone that was cupmarked over three thousand years ago, check out the Clonfinloch Stone on the Internet. Thank you and may Kwan Yin be your White Lady (I carry a little statuette on my body like Christians wear a cross)
