  • A soul of stone

    My soul is carved
    in the Burren’s stone
    Where ancient winds
    have softly flown
    Upon that limestone
    grey and bare
    A whisper lingers in the air
    No velvet earth
    no fertile green
    But cracks where life
    has faintly been
    Yet in its crevices
    flowers bloom
    Defying harshness
    defying doom
    The rocks endure
    the tempest’s cry
    Beneath the changeless
    brooding sky
    Their silence speaks
    of battles fought
    Of wisdom age and strife
    have wrought
    Like them
    my soul bears marks of time
    Of sorrow’s weight
    of grief’s climb
    But rooted deep
    it will not break
    A steadfast heart
    no storm can shake
    Among the stones
    the wild things grow
    The gentian blue
    the hawthorn’s glow
    So too within
    a quiet grace
    A fragile beauty
    finds its place
    Oh Boireann
    teach me how to be
    As strong as stone
    as wild
    as free
    For in your rocks
    I see my own
    A soul of earth
    a heart of stone
