Poetry from Ireland #2

Racing Through Ireland

Running down the grass
slippery and wet

Turn a corner

under oak trees
with their moldly bark
and sharp green leaves

Keep moving
forward
faster

"bump, bump"
over the old wooden bridge

ignoring that,
under those feet
the hush of the river

breathes, lives

Push farther
even faster

And in the air
suddenly
fills with a sweet perfume scent

Slow down

into the hues
of the purple-pinks
and the soft yellows
flowing through petals

Keep moving
Keep going

dancing through flowers
and out a gated door

start into a run again
a journey to see more.
