Loughed



Loughed

 

 

Autumnal bliss

No better than this

A walk, a kiss

Light in the abyss

 

A tide, a seal

The finest meal

Hand in hand

Eternal as sand

 

A race, a train

Time no reign

A seat with my lover

There is no other

 

A reaching hand

With no demand

That time on the lough

No measure for a clock

Bard in a Churchyard


In a Churchyard


Blossom and birdsong
In a place as this
With another in spirit
No less than bliss

Contemplating sense
Soothing and peace
Words with a guardian
One Louis MacNeice

The sun dares to shine
Lighting granite without
Whispers of green
From a bard no doubt

A hard swirling world
Becomes settled and still
Enduring love shall abide
By that church on the hill
