Delicious, velvet evenings slip slowly in….
A sloe-skin dusk furs,
Trees retreat respectfully,
The hills smudge violet.

*****************************
Massed colours along the river, trees, wild foliage, purple loosestrife filling the far bank, kingfishers….
Orange-blue-green flash
along mirrored river banks.
Loosestrife in riot.

******************************
Bright, full moon on the wane…
Splintered shards of moon
pierce the dark solid of hedge.
Truant wind slips through.

******************************
August nights grow deep…
Trees grow arrogant.
Roads become mysterious.
Stars widen the World.

******************************
Ceol i ngach a’n áit…
Fonn ‘gaoithe sa chrainn.
Dreoilín sa chlaí ag canadh.
Amhráin gan focail.
