cradle
by Peter Humphreysas sun slips down
and geese
V home
I cradle
you
I cradle
you alone
midst furze
and ling
on Nephins
cone
I cradle you
I cradle you
alone
by surging
stream and
granite dome
I
cradle you
I
cradle you alone
in gathering mist
and nascent fog
alone
I cradle
I cradle
you
alone

| Posted by Christel Crews on 06/04/06 at 09:45 PM such a beautiful piece and the differing breaks in the line "i cradle you alone" speaks of the various aspects of your heart and the action itself.. such a beautiful lullabye |
| Posted by Kristina Woodhill on 06/05/06 at 04:27 AM I love the repetition and simplicity of this. I discovered where Nephin's cone is, but would like to know what "furze and ling" are, please. :) |
