Cliffs of Moher

Approach them slowly.
You will be consumed.
Mark your steps and
Mind yourself as you climb.
The wind will bow you.

They will tune you
And you will sing
Low, mournful, aching melodies.


Drowning in emotion, come to the edge.
They are not comforting.
This is brutal majesty.

This is where the mighty Atlantic
Explodes into the walls of Ireland.

This is where you will know
You have a soul.

I was in Ireland in June 2002. I am not Irish, but I have a passion for Ireland, its history and its people. The cliffs are the west coast in County Clare and they will change you internally forever!

Katy,
I'm so glad you pointed me to this wonderful poem.You write from the soul.Each line is stunning
"The wind will bow you.

They will tune you
And you will sing
Low, mournful, aching melodies."

These are the lines that will live with me Katy. They leave me speechless.

Like yourself I have stood in awe at the site and the phrase "brutal majesty" sums up this place were the raw and rough beauty
of Ireland portrays the essence of life itself . Ireland needs poets like yourself to write of here Beauty . I hope you write more outstanding works like this one .

Its insane how this merry isle is in the hearts of so many especially writers yet it is truly dying, old romantic irelands dead and gone this poem brings that to heart. We're slowly becoming America mk.2 with coloqialisms as an added extra. Pretty poem. I must say after this much reading you have a very thought provoking style. Perhaps it is because it is things i know or perhaps just as it is thought provoking

Not an easy thing to bring this wild and rugged place to
life in word. Katy you have done so magnificently.

Katydid, like with others of Irish descent, you make me long for a home I have never seen, but love so much nonetheless.

I am sure the Irish have adopted you as well
