Beautiful poetry of the heart from Éilis.
I have had little to say
For I cannot both speak
And share these silences
Heavy with honesty
Hidden heartbeats
Leaves uncurling
Reaching hands
I cannot map change onto an undiscovered landscape
Describe time’s tides not yet sailed
Or make verses of untold
Fragile possibilities
Nascent and naked
Stretching soft tendrils
To touch a turning world
I cannot choreograph the wondrous waves
Crashing down croppings of rock
To cradle the clay creature I am
Cascading a cadence, playful and wild
As the wind whips them free
Flying, falling, sea strand and sea
Uncertainty churning the breath of the sky
How it cries aloud what could be my name
And how I am leaping, leaping through
Before I even understand
Breathless and smiling
Swept up, gathered close in
Fierce love, bewildered, untamed
