My poetic entry to Wild West Tours Contest

Remembrances of the First Time

 

Farewell to my friends and relations as we leave to go

To the place of my ancestors, so long lost in the fogs of Donegal

We walk on the cliffs that sing with the wind that

Once filled the sails of escape and sadness

I long to trace those roots back to times filled with hope...and gladness

 

Send us back to those magical shores

Spanish Point through the Cliffs of Moher

Graced by the birds and moss of a time worn edge

On towards Sligo Bay and passing horses on the beach onto

The bog of Inagh holding both secrets and warmth of a peat fire

 

We are graced and in gratitude to be traveling

The roads where the bowling crosses high views

With Craic of the trad played in the corner pub and

Dancers on barrel heads near Sligo

We are graced and in gratitude for this gift from

Michael & Trish and the Wild West Tours

We are graced…and grateful…

Very Grateful.
