THE MISTS OF MAAM

nephilim56 ( Norman Dickson)

The valley seems
To breathe as one
Its falling mist
Heartbeats begun
To gently rise
Inhale exhale
An Irish air
A tender veil.

The Devils Mother
A watching peak
Its rising heights
Lull one to sleep
Connemara legend
Swirls within
Each word of lore
Each storys brim.

Galway your beauty
Maamturk range
Mountains serenity
Will never change
A thousand lovers
Who crossed the bridge
Still hold hands
In the Maams mist.

    How beautiful, natural nature is and how though it changes it remains unlike some relationships that come and go and are as ethereal as a mist. Well written my friend with most beautiful imagery

    A fine write N. How are the buses in Ireland? lol.
    Oh no, a bus service is soon to be withdrawn near our area. No difference? It never arrived anyway? lol.
