Burren

 

Burren


The hard skin, we walked,

to the clouds,

and from the clouds to the sea,

and out to the lighthouse.


A country with no boundaries

between land and water,

nor land and sky,

nor past, nor future.


God lives in a cave,

God lives on the mountain,

God and the devil

living among others of their own kind.


We walked the pavements,

among living shadows;

they held out their hands;

their hands sang.


We saw, in water-filled hollows,

ourselves: air, rock and light,

transient and eternal;

cloudscapes, not people.
