hope by Peter HumphreysAbove
the darkling
road,
Orion strides.
The night
is bold black,
dark
beyond
imaginings.
Once more,
I secret
my way,
under cover
of
bleakness.
Beside me
the ink black
sea,
calm
after
Atlantic
rage.
A gull startles.
Down the
boreen,
a candle
flickers.
You are there.
There is
hope. 12/31/2005 Posted on 12/31/2005 Copyright © 2024 Peter Humphreys

Posted by Gregory O'Neill on 12/31/05 at 04:57 PM Peter, without you ever saying so, I feel Ireland in your words. Where and who you are come through in how you write these wonderful words down. I enjoy them very much. Here's hope for peace everywhere, and in that ancestral land of mine, too. |
